without full knowledge of the event you will enter, I must say that wing is strong enough to be used as a battering ram. It must be very heavy! Please do not think I wish to criticize, or ridicule.
But permit me my humble opinion I think that wing is over built/designed.

If I were to modify that wing I would reduce the size of the leading edge stringers by half or use only one small one between the leading edge and main spar then sheet with 1/32" or 1/20" from the leading edge to the first main spar giving you a smoother leading edge and tie all the components together for a lighter stronger structure next I would reduce the size of the rear former triangle braces to zero or at least by two thirds, then cut oval holes in all the ribs behind the main spar.

Now I will take my opinion and go sit in the corner. I only want to help!
