Re: An Open Letter to Skip Barber Regarding HANS devices - Please Vote & Give Feedback

I just got my new Hans in. I went for the Cheapo version, it was maybe $400 cheaper, but it weighs 1 gram more or something. For poeple reading this, the cheap version IS NOT fiberglass. Mine is the Economy version and is nicer than most older styles I have yet to see. It is the Economy series, model 20. I chose the model 20 because of all of the different type of cars I drive/race. I had to sit up 2.8 degrees more for it to be comfortable in the Skip car. It seems to be a great all around choice. It has the new "lips" On the shoulder piece that keep the belts on great. A much needed change. The back helmet support seems higher as well for when I back the next one in.... I am glad to see it getting cheaper. I have 2 thoughts.
1-They should be $400 so every club/short track racer can afford one.
2-Hans did their homework, and they should be rewarded with the end pricing...

Anybody who thinks about buying one should go ahead and thank yourself later..... My 2 cents..
