As someone who really enjoyed watching Junkyard Wars and Monster Garage I think it would be great to have more TV like this on.
Thinking about it, it’s a shame those Redbull Challenges are not publicized as much as I think they should be.
I would watch that. I vaguely recall that idea being tossed around at Championshsips last year.
For those who are twit.tv watchers of Tech News Today, I subbmitted this on their reddit page to suggest that they talk about this on their show. Please upvote this so more of the technology community can support this effort.
Junkyard Wars was my favorite show as a kid! 
I am looking foward to this show!
