What would you guys recommend for a good low friction lubricant for ball bearings. These are for wheel bearings on a 4 cycle racing kart and friction reduction is important. The loads on the bearings are moderate, although there is some side loading and a significant amount of impact load.

I use Amsoil 2K, it's rated "2&2EP GC and LB", it's expensive but works in extreme conditions

I would consider using a light oil, assuming it can last the race and reoiling isn't too much of a problem. You don't have to use grease in a bearing.
Check out CorrosionX. It’s fortified with EP additives and they market a product for this type of application.
