I have a VO Passhunter Rack with a Wald 137 zipp-tied to it on my Mash Work Frame. I gosh damn love it too. With a six pack and stuff I prefer to keep my hands on the bars. But with lunch, tool rool and extra shirt for work it's great on my commutes and I'm getting comfortable with no hands riding. I can remove or install rack on bike in like 2 mins, literally involves loosening/tightening 3 nuts.
I did install the Wald 137 on my Samson NJS track bike when I first received it. It rode fine but the weight was noticeable even with a small load. I think if I had had the tools to shorten the legs that connect to the front axel, to lower the center of gravity it would have been less noticeable. I would highly recommend purchasing a Wald 137 and riding with it first to see if you appreciate the basket enough to further invest in a front rack and more expensive setup. Or if you have tools you can get a pretty nice setup with the Wald itself.
But to just to re-iterate: VO rack was originally bought for my Gunnar Crosshairs & a Swift bag + decauler? setup, which I loved & used extensively when i first got it. I rode that bike 80% of the time just because I loved the bag-decauler-rack setup. It helped lead me to get the Wald for the track bike in the first place, and if I'm being honest I currently have no clue when that setup will get used again because of how useful the Basket+Rack setup is on the Work frame.

R Front racks+baskets are sweet, even on track bikes
