Have not provided service-twice
I've had my time cancelled twice now. The first time they at least had the courtesy to give me prior notice of a few days and gave the explanation that they were trying to get their cars fixed so they did not have differing capabilities. However, I was scheduled to go June 20, 2011 at 4:30 and showed up at the track only to find no one was there. I checked my email and found they had sent a cancellation email only 3 hours before my scheduled time. I've called the company but still haven't gotten an explanation. However, from reading similar complaints on this website I can start to form a guess. My recent experiences also cause me to question the excuse given after the first cancellation. As a busy professional who has now twice had to schedule leave time on a weekday only to have the agreement dishonored I would absolutely not recommend anyone else give this company their money.

TOTAL SCAM
RE: BE A STOCK CAR DRIVER.COM
Ok, well to begin with we had a session scheduled in May which was cancelled via email 2 days prior to our scheduled date. We live approx 2 hours from the venue so planning and arrangements were necessary for us. My husband and I both had to take the day off work...kids out of school, ect...
So our rescheduled date was yesterday. We went to Gresham Motorspeedway which is where we were originally told the venue was being held out. We arrive at 10am and got to meet Bill Elliots brother, that was neat...but he said that there is no event happening at their location and that they have a pending lawsuit against beastockcardriver for using their name.
We start heading home and I call the 800# and she informs me that the venue was changed to Lanier Motor Speedway and that an email was sent out. I never got this said email.
We arrive at 11:45 and are the very last people in line...32 people scheduled to drive for the 11:30 session. They have brought 3 race cars, 1 has transmission problems, 1 has some other issue and 1 is actually running pretty well. Because we were last, my husband got his first 5 laps with the instructor at 1:45pm. At 2pm, they tell us to take an hour for lunch and be back by 3pm.
Now, the package promises the following:
Detailed classroom instruction (We did not get)
A tour of the track (We did not get)
5 Hot laps (check, yes we got)
30 Laps behind the wheel (We did not get)
Personalized race suit and fire-proof hood (did not get)
Lunch provided for drivers (nope, didn't get that either)
Ok, so we come back at 3pm. We wait another hour only to find out that they have been shut down by Lanier because their check for the rental of the track bounced. So by 4pm, they finally get this worked out and start the cars again. Mind you they did not touch the cars during the 2 hour period, so we have to wait on them to do all of that now as well.
At this point it is now 4:30 and the group for the 2nd session of the day is showing up, only to be turned away. Due to the time, they are running you 15 laps, come in for instruction and go back out for 15 more laps. Shortly into this, one of the drivers blows the motor in one of the only 2 cars running. They say, we knew it had a bad motor and was going to go at any moment. So...they knowingly brought 1 good car for 32 people to drive??? Anyway, they then tell us we can get a refund, come back on Sunday (which Lanier Motor Speedway did not have them scheduled for) or stay and wait your turn. We were told they were out until midnight on Tuesday, so needless to say we did not stay.
We talked to a lot of other people who had similiar issues with this company, I would not recommend paying this kind of money for this kind of experience!
