I've been debating between the Model 20 (upright, sportscars) and 30 (semi-reclined, e.g. FM). Any suggestions if you want a HANS that will work for either, or is this not practical?

Anir,
I talked to the HANS guys about this - my thought was to use the upright one I have if I signed up for a number of the Skip Barber racing events.

Their recommendation was that I not try it because it's evidently very important that the harness make proper contact with the "horizontal" part of the device that sits on top of your shoulders - hence it would be an issue to use an upright harness in a semi-reclined vehicle. Same issue using a model 30 in an upright car.

I've resigned myself to the decision that if I decide to sign up for the Skip race series I'll be buying another HANS.

Cheers,

Rick

Thanks, Rick. I just ordered the 20R, economy model. I'll try it out in the FM this month and let you know if it worked. If it doesn't, I'll pick up a 30, as well.
