Lighter Hoods?

Anyone know of a lighter hood I can use? Don't get me wrong, I love asking 3 people to help me get my current one off, but at the track it could be a hassle.

Is there any plastic, or better yet, carbon fiber hoods out there? Something that could be cut into for hood pins would be nice.

Re: Lighter Hoods?

White is the lightest I`ve seen...sorry.I believe the`glass hoods are every bit as heavy as stock steel.With all the trucks being raced,there may be something out there in racing circles.
