Kevlar lined gloves or studded sliders on the gloves.  I think also the helmet eject system.  All good things, but there are going to be some glove buying riders this winter lol

These are not bad gloves and the rider still lost some skin on the heels of his hands. I am all for good gloves and safety equipment.
It is too bad bench racing is not measureable. That way someone would win.

Contact NHRA tech and tell them you can not find these gloves they are saying you have to have. I bet they can tell you some companies that are selling them. I am sure when the site advertisers here start getting calls for the gloves they will find them as well and stock them for their customers.

So, has anyone clarified where these "slider buttons" have to be?  Will they accept the carbon fiber or composite knuckle type?

The studded palms went away from road racing years ago for good reason - the edges actually tended to bite into the pavement and would rip the glove apart rather spectacularly.  Tore up the side of my hand as a result of the glove failure.  Kevlar makes sense - metal studs do not!

The guys are Komodo Gear were getting some gloves made to specifically adhere to the NHRA rules.  Good guys who support motorcycle drag racing.

I spoke to NHRA tech and I was told that the gloves either have to be kevlar lined or have armor somewhere.  It doesnt matter if its in the knuckles, palms, or wherever.
