Junkyard Wars

The teams have to put out fires in a dumpster, car and pallet from 20' as fast as the can.

Teams led by Hackett and Colonel Dick have to build assault vehicles capable of driving over several types of rough terrain and breaking down walls to rescue their captains from captivity.

In the second part of The Great Race, the contestants rebuild their vehicles to drive over desert dunes of Death Valley. Fire Power chose to cut down the vehicle and convert it into a half-tread truck; Anarchy got bigger wheels, a nitrous kit, and cut down the weight of the hearse; Metal Maidens and Farm Boys each put a Baja skidpad under the vehicle, with Farm Boys cutting down its own truck. In race day, Fire Power's tread had fallen before the match began, so the vehicle was run without treads. Anarchy won the race, followed by Farm Boys, Metal Maidens, Fire Power. Final scores Anarchy: 4 (total 4), Farm Boys: 3 (total 6), Fire Power: 0 (total 0), Metal Maidens: 2 (total 6).

In the final of the UK tournament, a team of naval engineers from Portsmouth (Destroyers) and a bunch of estate agents from Surrey (Hot Property) built tanks that can pass over the rough terrain and shoot predetermined targets. Destroyers built a 6-wheel drive tank, Hot Property built tread-driven tank. In challenge day, the tank from Destroyers was able to finish the course with a broken turret. Hot Property's tank, however, was high-centred when driving over a uphill slope. The tread failed to push the tank across the slope and the team failed to finish the race.

Slick-backed 1950s-style rockers from Sheffield (Rockin' Rabble) and a crew of slick estate agents from Surrey (Hot Property)built fully functioning fire engines. Each vehicle would be tested for a race to resuce a stranded doll on second floor of a wooden house, a race to douse the burning barbecue grill, then the race to douse the flame on the wooden house. Rockin' Rabble built on top of a pickup truck with a giant tank and a paddle pump. Hot Property built from a van with a smaller tank and pump. In challenge day, Hot Property won the rescue race, Rockin' Rabble led on barbecue grill event. In third race, Rockin' Rabble's vehicle's pump broke, so the teammates had to use water bucket. Hot Property eventually ran out of water, but not before dousing most of the flame. Hot Property won the third round and the match.

A crew of engineers from the Royal Navy (The Destroyers) and a troop of scoutmasters from Essex (Ging Gang Goolies) built jet-powered cars. Once they've built their jet racers, they would have 3 chances to obtain the fastest speed at the legendary drag strip at Santa Pod.

A team of Surrey estate agents (Hot Property) and a trio of jet engine fanatics from Northamptonshire (Jet Pack) built the fastest ice racing vehicles from a pile of scrap.

To further complicate matters, they have to drive downhill, pack up the vehicle and carry the suitcase across treacherous terrain (including crawling through a tent tunnel), then reassemble the vehicle and racing to the finish line. Team - members Muckspreaders Ging Gang Goolies In race day, Muckspreaders led in first two part of the race. In the final part of the race, Muckspreaders team used foot to help accelerate the vehicle and was disqualified.

The ultimate way to deal with traffic jams would be to push the offending cars out of the way and go through. Well, for the High Flyers and Big Shots, that dream is about to come true. The will be building a machine that will power it's way through a gauntlet of cars. A bunch of cars have been strewn down a track. The team that has the fastest total time after 3 runs (and a different driver each time) through the cars will advance. However, if they go outside of the yellow boundaries on the sides of the track, they incur a ten second penalty. So it isn't just speed...it's precision as well. For the High Flyers, it's all about the traction. Using a monsterous truck for a base, they will add a second axle to the rear and wrap the two tires with tank treads. Combine a big engine and those massive footprints and put a big plow on the front and you have a bulldozer...in essence. However, adding a second axel isn't exactly a walk in the park. Neither will finding a big, reliable engine? This machine will have to be just plain tough! The Big Shots are going for power. A big truck chassis and a big engine will give them lots of power and strength to withstand any major collisions. However, their plow is going to resemble a cow catcher (like you used to see on old time locomotives). The trick is that they will put their blade at the rear and drive in reverse. This will protect the engine and give them some low-range power. Again, finding a good engine might be the problem.
