Car Bashing Fundraiser?

I remember back when I was a wee little freshman this fundraiser I saw at an away football game. (It was one of the two we won that season.)

The cross-country team of that school (North Augusta High, if it's worth anything to 'ya) had an old beater of a car and a sledgehammer. Two hits for a buck.

From what I saw on the press box (I was the videographer for the team), the event was a smash (pun very much intended).

Anyone tried it as a fundraiser for FIRST? I was thinking of proposing it for our team for football season. Let's see if GM built their cars for vigorous interaction!*

*This wasn't meant as a ding on GM. I don't know what car we'd be able to get. I just had to stick a car company in there somewhere.
