Default Back on Lejeune, is there anyone that carries the German Castrol?

Hey everyone, I'm back in Lejeune for the next year or so, and I was wandering if anyone in the area carries the German blend Castrol? The car needs an oil change pretty soon.

Also, I'm with HQ 3/10 for anyone in the area.

I checked Auto Zone's web site and it says they are supposed to have it. Don't know if it's correct though. You know how the internet and the store differ all the time on **** like that.

When does the track open? I've finally got my transmission fixed and I'm ready to finally see the results of all the work.

I don't know, I'm going off of the reviews from this board. I had to settle for regular Castrol this time.

Anyone going this Sunday? I'm considering it and would love some pointers. The last time I was at the track I had only been driving stick for 2 weeks. It wasn't pretty.

Also, what's the cost and how is the tech inspection? Will I need to get a helmet and/or fire extinguisher?

All you need is a helmet. There is no tech inspection. The only worries you have is if your car runs in the 10's or quicker. Then they might do a little cursory inspection on your ride.
