Posted by michael on from the mallrats dept.

ArtEnvironment writes "Junkyard Wars coming to a... MALL near you!? Here's your chance to experience Junkyard Wars firsthand, or at least a glorified pinewood, er I mean JUNK derby! You can build unique gravity-racers and compete on a 'special effects-filled', mini race track. In addition, you can watch clips from the show and possibly even win prizes, yay!"

    One of the teams that competed earlier on in the series, The N.E.R.D.S., have their thoughts on this here.

    The short answer is that yes, there are parts there that one wouldn't find in a normal junkyard due to safety concerns, and that yes, there are a higher number of "good junk" than the average real world junk heap, but honestly it's not like it's still not difficult as hell.

    The "Junkyard" concept is only that, a concept designed to hold the show together, not an absolute reality that must be adheared to or else.
