Your best bet would be to buy some aftermarket ones, but it wouldn't be too hard to make 'em either.

Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine.

Looks good, just make sure that you build it tough and make sure it conforms to the rules.

I'd say they are ok.. I'd say make the top and bottom flanges are thick, and the loop underneath might need to go.

(assuming its for steering) you might want to move that to a more traditional side mount. not because your way won't work, but dragging it across a high point going quick might turn the tire out and give you issues. (like a wrist injury or a rollover if you aren't holding on tight through a turn) if its not for steering then I'd remove it.

You may want to consider additional ground clearance too... what size tires are you planning to run on the front Danny?
