spray Pam on tires before hitting the mud?

I spray Pam in my nose every night before I go to sleep. In the morning, the boogers fall right out. Great trick for people with sinus problems.
 
Wouldn't using WD-40 or other petroleum agents which will slough off into the ground and water supply while off-roading be a concern for pollution???

In the bigger picture yes, although one may argue that the average wheeler leaks more fluids in a day than you spray on in a year. Since the proper thing to do is to reduce pollution on all levels, using veggie oil or some other natural, biodegradable lube is the treadlightlyest thing to do as mentioned in my earlier post.
 
As has been mentioned, some dirt track racers I know will put WD40 or cooking spray on their suspension and frame components to help keep things cleaner when the track is wet/sticky, but a good friend doesn't because his logic is that he can either spend 5-10 minutes spraying WD40 on his car before the race, or spend 5-10 minutes spraying his car with the power washer after the race and get the same result with less expense (they have their own power washer). I suppose it all depends on the application. Motorcycle fenders makes sense to because they fit closer to the tire and build up could be a problem. Late model race car with no "fenders" over the tire, not as much. I've never thought of putting it on tires.

Great for the inside of a horse's hooves when in the snow...

I should put some on my dog's feet so she doesn't get ice balls between her toes...

OK, that's thinking about it backwards. Purpose of this application in racing is to eliminate the weight of heavy clay/mud and give you a potential weight advantage against the competition.
 
I have to agree with spending money on cleaning instead of spray.

Pam sprayed on my vehicle may just encourage bears to be more interested.

No disagreement with you on that one, especially on the professional level, but not at the level he was racing at.
