Key TIR Updates from the Official Web Site
Texas Tough Throwdown Winners
We’ve gotten great feedback from the teams that participated in the throwdowns this year. This is a fun way to have some friendly, albeit pointed, competition within the overall race. We anticipate that in a few years this will be a popular aspect of the TIR. The winners of this year’s throwdowns were: The Battling Bloggers of the Texas Republic, HCSS Heavy Haulers, Rick’s Salty Mixed Nuts, and We’re the Hecarwi! Each of these teams will receive $60 in Papa John’s gift cards to have another pizza party where they can relive their TIR glory days. Perhaps they should invite their excellent (though defeated this time) opponents to the party!
2009 Registration Details
The official opening of registration will be April 21, 2008. The early registration fee (through October 31) will be $900. The regular fee (November 1 – January 31) will be $1,000.
However, returning teams may register early, starting April 1 (no joke). These returning teams will get a $100 refund through April 20 ($800) and may request the same team number (with option to upgrade on April 21 if a lower number has not been taken).
IN ADDITION TO THAT, we will give the Team Captain a Come and Take It flag!
From April 21 onward, returning teams will still get a $50 refund off either the early or regular entry fee, whichever applies.
The race weekend will be the first full weekend in March (March 7-8, 2009), pending a couple of final approvals (95%+ certainty).

Can we send our money now to register? And can we invite the Texians to our party???
Yes! A Come and Take It flag! I wanted one the whole weekend.
Incidentally, weren't you supposed to send us a final bill? It'd be nice to settle that before we plunk down for the next one.
A get together with the Texians would be most awesome.
