1. Parking brake.
2. Place to secure a Nitrogen tank(fold out shelf?)
3. ability to access power. (110v in/out) maybe a 6 strip outlet on the side. with a clean method to get power in. Or an on board deep cycle battery with an inverter to power small items
4. good mix of storage space, from jack stands to wrenches
5. strong work bench top W/ vice (or ability to add/support one)
6. good tie downs to secure in the trailer
7. small built in cooler that appears to be a tool drawer
8. ability to (securely) add halogen lights to it for night races
9. a digital clock,and timers
10. designed to be used with/secured to a canopy/EZ up
if you can design the cart with the ability to add this stuff at the racers prerogative down the road that would help with the initial cost.
I am sure I could think of a million more options, but its snowing outside so I cant get into "race car mode"
Hope this helps

I would also add an engine and steering wheel so I could just drive it instead of having to pull it around.

Matt Thank you for the feedback, we are thinking of having options for different sports/Trades/professions etc. Now the question is what do you think a good base price for a cool cart with large locking wheels with maybe one cool option should be?
Thanks again....we are working on some cool items

I have no idea about the cost. I currently just unload the trailer and drag it all to the pit wall with a hand truck, a bunch of friends. (it takes a few trips)
and I guess it could be a huge variation in cost due to tons of things. I have friends that have Snap On tool boxes in them, and others with Costo tool box.
I will check with my friends for what theirs cost to help me get a better idea of the cost
