yeah, notice the LOL smily I put next to my post. Ratchet strap was a joke.
Even funnier with a visual of one coming off and rider being ejected. :lol:

Could I be competitive on flat track by just taking all of the ride height out of my shocks (motowoz front, elka rear) and buying hoosiers/american racers?
No, been there done that and it doesn't work. If you want to be competitive you need at minimum a lowering kit and swaybar.

+1 ATV Action (july 2009) issue has a pretty good write up on what you would need.  It's more focused on quad cross, but I'm sure there are plenty of similarities to leverage.
