Our son has recently taken up dirt kart racing so, naturally, MR & Mrs G are now support crew.
We've decked out his Holden Rodeo ute with a new tray and the fibreglass canopy of a very close-matching Ford ute.

The inner sides of the tray now have aluminium rails for rolling the dirt kart's rack into position for transportation.
Under the rack is the space for a 6x3m gazebo, generator, compressor, fuel cans, etc.

I'm investing my engineering experience and 3D CAD and printing in modifications and am considering building a simple LED bargraph guage fed from an O2 sensor to help him dynamically tune his 2-stroke engine mid-race. We're also adopting a battery/starter motor-powered push trolley for his drop-starts on account of saving my back  :lol:

As requested, here are a few shots at various stages of development, not to mention the need for a final respray of the vehicle to do justice to the capability within, something like the semitrailer that carried K.I.T.T. around - am I right?  :lol:
