The SVTOA / Camp Steeda Event was heralded by all who were there as a smashing success. In fact, over the three day event only one dark moment served to blemish the record.

At the Awards Banquet Saturday Night, thanks were given to Ford and to the SVT, for the awesome vehicles they produce, and to the Sponsors who make aftermarket parts for drivers who want to personalize style or performance or both. The drivers of both show cars and those that saw track time were thanked of course - without them, the event wouldn't mean much, and if it weren't for the efforts of the SVTOA volunteers, it wouldn't have happened at all. Even the hosting track, Sebring, and the Chateau Elan Hotel & Spa earned their props.

Subsequently, in the midst of the raffle, a moment of silence was sought by a representative of the Pylon Protection Society, in Memoriam of the Little, Orange Cone that didn't make it to see the Sunday dawn. While none of the cones accepted any remuneration for their efforts, they were all justifiably proud of the sacrifice made by their fallen comrade.
