Track forks are relatively short rake, usually in the neighbourhood of 28-32mm. Paired with a headtube angle of 74-75, it will result in a relatively shorter trail which makes the bike relatively twitchy at a low speed but very stable at high speed.
Hmmm... I'm a bit confused. So less rake makes a shorter wheelbase which makes for twitchier low-speed handling but more stable high speed handling? What about fork length, does that ever vary?
