From this picture it looks to me like they are cantilevered, which worries me. Also it looks like the wheels are height adjustable in some way, I would love to have a closer look at how you are approaching it. Hopefully there is more support on those cantilevered then it looks, but overall it should be a solid frame that can take the beating your drivers will certainly put it through.
