I wanna do a bit of flat track racing at a local dirt oval, but I am not sure if I'm gonna get into it enough to spend the coin on suspension specifically for it.
Most of the guys I see are strapping down their stock suspension with ratchet straps and the like, but most of it looks a bit precarious in that if a hook comes off or a strap brakes a good bit of hell could break loose as a result.
Any experienced strapping input out there for me? Or other alternatives?
If I really dig it, maybe I'll drop the dough for a real setup including sway bar, but for the first couple times I'd like to wing it to feel it all out.

If you have access put a warrior or 300ex shock on the left front & leave your right front stock.
Put 20lbs or air in your rear tires & let them sit in the sun for a whole day & swell. Put the taller tire on the right side & shorter on the left. Put 8lbs in the left front, 9 in the right front, 10 in the right rear, & 7 in the left rear. All this does is help your quad pull to the left on it's own with little leaning on your part.
Tyr this out to start and if you really want to get into it, I can hook you up with some really cool tips to put you in the winners circle.

Ratchet straps work, but you can't get the quad low enough to make a difference. A waist of time if you ask me. Try to get ahold of some smaller shocks.

One more thing. If you do get ahold of some smaller shocks for the front it's going to widen it a couple of inches on both sides. If it does this you need to widen the rear end with spacers to compensate.
