Gotta run the track fairly tight to stop the racheting. I think the spec is 1/2" to 3/4" free space between the rail and track with a ten pound weight on the inside of the track. The track will strech a little when it's new, after you adjust it a couple of times it's usually good. If your sled is needing a track adjustment, you should also check your chaincase chain as it also streches a bit when new.

Avid drivers.....then you can run track a bit looser, hyfax will last and it'll free up a little track speed.
Just tighten it a little bit at a time until it stops.
I've found that I can climb better with a tight track. I swapped sleds with my friend one day and noticed that when he gave it throttle the track would have a big gap between it and the front of the rails. This made the attack angle of the track really bad. Have never had it ratchet once after I tightened it up.

Avid drivers are about the only cure. Cut out that center driver, ice build up on that floating driver can cause the track to be pushed out and ratchet as well.
