Personally I'd go for some carbon soled shoes at they are, in my experience at least, noticeably stiffer than plastic soled shoes.
Those pedals look a bit OTT for racing at HH. They might offer the worst of both worlds too. :-)
Personally I'd go for a road system such as Look Keo, as you can get cleats for them at most shops, rather than having to go to a specialist one or mail order. The only time I've seen anyone pull their foot out of the pedal was at one of the forum track days last year, when it happened twice if memory serves. Most regular riders just tighten the release mechanism on the pedal and have no problems.
