Subject: Could a piston be made out of Carbon Fiber and would it survive?

Am interested in the possibility of using Carbon fiber is a material to develop 
a piston for a high performance racing engine.  I am roughly familiar with the 
advantages of this material in other facets of racing, strength to weight 
ratios, ultra light weight.  High heat tolerances, ect..
If this could be developed into a realistic technology, I feel it would greatly 
alter the Auto racing industry.

Thank you,
chad Dixon
