Default mud racing - darwin - should I?

they have a mud racing competition up here over the wet season, which starts on October the 18th, its basically a figure 8 track with real deep mud, its shouldnt be too deep on the first round, they reckon its about a metre.. Im so tempted to do the first round, but i reckon it will completely wreck me wagon... what do ya reckon? I rang em up and they said a pajero went in it last season and only lasted 3 races.. i dont wanna completely F#$% me wagon, do you think with the right preperation, i.e lanolin, silcon spray and grease the buggery out of it ill be right? i dont mind busting small stuff like uni's, driveshafts etc, but dont wanna destroy it..

OR maybe i should just buy a rust bucket, put mongrels on it and do the whole season.... probably work out cheaper...

haha, yeah i know, its bloody tempting though, i only wanna do 1 round in it... remember its TJ not JK simsy, its not a latte mobile, i dont have to worry about getting my carpet, flash paint and 6 metre plastic bumpers dirty... besides it cant be any worse than a weekend playing in the mud after a flood at newie...
