Marshall has always used AmsOil for the ones he does. Not sure of the immediate local availability though.

Amsoil racing wheel bearing grease. For reference, the left front hub on my car is the factory hub that came on the car, just rebuilt with amsoil every 4 years. Right front was replaced before nationals in 2008 at mid-0. Serviced it with amsoil grease prior to install. I haven't looked at either one since 2009 or so. May you have the same luck!

I went 8 seasons on a set of AmsOil greased "new" hubs. Took them off as a precaution, and they are now my spares.

8 seasons...

I just think I need to take a breath for a second.

We can barely get 8 HOURS out of our 4th gen front hubs before we need new ones.

I ended up getting some Lucas stuff. High drip point. Made for high speed use and rated for heavy duty machinery. Figure I will give it a shot.
Thought I would find some RP stuff. Didnt.

I don't know what Tony G used on the 55 but I'm still running the ones that came on the car. Never touched them. I do carry a spare.

That's the price you gotta pay for such a superior car, lower CG, more aerodynamic, more track width, longer wheelbase, better weight distribution, more rigid chassis, superior suspension. Hell they should s197 rule the f-bodys and put em on a narrow tire for all of the performance advantages they have!!
