Without any vertical diagonal support to the rack, it will need to be made strong, and still will be weight limited.
Pardon my lack of dimension, perspective or scale in this drawing but, would a cross member from the headtube to the DT be the thing I drew an arrow pointing to? So essentially, there'd be three bars, two going from the rack to the DT, and one in the middle going from HT to DT?
