Are perforated leathers NHRA / AMA approved?

Legal in AMA......


2.10.3.2 *PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Leather jackets, full-face helmets, eye protection, leather gloves and leather boots are mandatory in all classes (no driving shoes or sneakers). Any motorcycle participants running an elapsed time in the quarter mile of 9.99 seconds or quicker, 120 mph or faster or using nitrous oxide, nitro methane, supercharger or a turbo charger and all exhibition motorcycle riders are required to have full leathers. The use of synthetic material riding suits is prohibited. The use of stretchable Kevlar and perforated materials in non-critical areas are permissible. Fashion leather, including suede, is not permitted . Suits must be one-piece design or joined together with a "full circumference" zipper at the waist. Leathers cannot be too big or loose. Critical area (knees, elbows, forearms, shoulders) armor or 2-layers of leather is required. AMA Dragbike requires that all new construction by leather manufacturers include critical area armor. A spine protector is highly recommended especially in all Pro classes and non-wheelie bar bikes. Temporary motorcycle stands cannot be placed inside the suit.

Thanks on the AMA rules!

Hopefully, someone from the NHRA will post something.

Our tech isn't that picky, but at GIR (NHRA) I wear preforated leather jackets.
