Track racing is closer to time trialing than road racing. Weight can go forward. You’ll have to strengthen the arms, neck, and back some...but you’ll need those to be stronger anyway to lift up those trophies, wear those medals, and rock those jerseys
Its definitely more weight on the butt than the hands, effectively should be able to take your hands off the bars and not lurch forward, and track only has to be comfortable for a minute or so if we're talking sprint
