I have lots of toverlap on my track frame with clips and none with clipless. It depends a lot on frame size, its harder to avoid as frames get smaller.

Toverlap is almost inveitable with clips. Looks like you could definitely run a smaller cage than whats on there right now. MKS make nice cheap toeclips that come in a bunch of sizes and are available from most LBSs that deal with track stuff, old roadies or from 100s of places on line.

The other more expensive option is to change for shorter cranks, if you're running a longish crank. That will also help.
