After each match, each team will retain its own vehicle to race in next match. In this episode, they have to modify their vehicles to go downhill from Sierra Nevada mountains and pass a giant log.

S14E2 - Junkyard Mega Wars: The Great Race (2)

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).
