^^True, but how many people have an enclosed big enough to hold the tools they need? My question is if this toolbox gives racers/hobbyists the ability to do more major repairs at the track, would they invest in it? The return on it being that they don't have to forfeit out because they don't have an air compressor handy to push in a new bushing or use an impact on the suspension piece that just broke. If it's there with them, they can return it and continue competing throughout the weekend. There's also a market in the show car world, which is one you see a lot more flatbed trailer setups used.. I know whenever I'm at a show, it sometimes seems like everything that can go wrong does go wrong. So for people who are seriously into showing and have no problem investing money in things like engine dressup kits, show displays, etc (*cough*BRETT*cough*), would they be willing to invest in a system like this to keep all their stuff in? And it doesn't have to be just tools.. it can be detailing stuff, display stuff.. really whatever.
And part of the design is that the individual boxes can be removed and put in the trunk, and the whole thing could be mounted on a workbench as well, so a slight bit of the people who just drive to the track could be a target market as well... I'm trying to keep the design pretty customizable and open so that it will appeal to as many people as possible.. the "car" version of the prototype that I'm working on works as a rear upper strut bar/x brace that holds the toolboxes, so that way it's something that works FOR the racer as well as WITH them.
