Hi Ken-Ichi,
The dimensions of the wooden base are 1 and 2/8 inches x 3 inches. You can build outward from there, but that is the size of the piece that will be attached to the car.
The mass of your bumper is entirely up to you, but you do need to consider that too much mass will likely cause the bumper to droop down and slide against the track (sliding friction). If there is any sliding friction (other than that of the wheels on the track), the bumper cannot be considered for winning the "contract".

You should be able to recognize the formula for momentum. You should also be able to understand the law of conservation of momentum.
Momentum = m x v

I bet that's not true. If you have a question...you can come here to ask it! Remember, scientists exist because of unanswered QUESTIONS! :)
