Cash For Clunkers Leaves Demolition Derbies Hard Up For Cars

Posted by samzenpus on from the so-that's-what-happened-to-carpocalypse dept.

The Cash for Clunkers program has a new group of critics, demolition-derby drivers. In addition to the fact that scrap-metal prices have doubled in the past two years, the Clunkers program has created a shortage of derby-worthy cars. "Obama is an anti-demo-derby guy," says Tory Schutte, head of the Demolition Derby Drivers Association. "He's targeting the cars we've been using."
