Just made a few calls and should have a couple more cars in the works. 
Waiting on the response from my buddy Wes to bring out his C6 Z06. I may have to make a few pit stops at a few local places in town and see if I can bring some more people out.
When do you guys think you'll be getting in town? I want to have a set time to tell my buddies when to meet up at. There is a giant Super Wal-Mart about 20 seconds off of the offramp on Exit 111 for Naples. It will be on your left side when you guys turn right off of exit 111. It is hard to miss! I will be directing everyone there to meet up.
Shoot me some PM's if you have any questions and need my cell phone number!

Might as well start up the list and people can add themselves accordingly.
I intentionally tried not to make this meet ridiculously large myself but didn't limit people from inviting their friends either. I wanted to get a feel for seeing how it would turn out and if people enjoyed themselves I will happily set up another meet with a few weeks of planning so a lot more people can join.
Here are the people I am aware of that are apparently coming:
1. Chris (Rockfreak300) 06' 350z
2. Besim (Porsche997TT) - 997 Turbo
3. DD (DepDog) - EVOMS Supercharged 996 Cab
4. Zach (Zach) - Modified Subaru Sti
5. Jason (Steelth) - Modified GTO
6. Jim - C6 Vette and C4 Vette
7. John - Bentley CGT
8. Mike - various Porsche's from his work
9. David - Heavily modified 350z
10. Sean - E60 M5 modified 550hp+
11. Dale - Foxbody
12. Clay - C4 Vette
Unconfirmed as of now but invited:
- Cameron - 997 Turbo
- Chris / Wes - 997 Turbo / C6 Z06
- Derek - Ferrari F40
- Max - GT3
- Jonah - Porsche Carrera
- Alex - Modified S2000
- Mike - TurboMike - 996 Turbo
- Chris - 07' Viper
There has to be a few I missed in there somewhere. Either way, if there isn't a ridiculous amount of people then I don't mind either because it will allow for Sean and I to shoot more pictures of all the cars.
Besim and DD, could you invite your friends to the list that are caravaning down with you guys? I would appreciate it!

Alright, just got off the phone with a few of you! I would prefer to play it a bit safe this time around and not get carried away with the amount of people I invite. The only problem is finding parking for everyone.
I would like to keep it to around 12 or less cars. The community has been ridiculously busy since the holidays / new year so any runway runs is probably not the safest or feasible event this time of year.

It's about a 38 hour drive for me so it looks like I won't be able to make it. It does sounds like a great Fl meet like we have had in the past and I wish I was there pretty bad. Have fun, drive safe and get tons of good pictures fellas.

Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow! The weather should be beautiful!
I just got back from the house where we will be having the meet at to clean up a bit and get everything ready. There should definitely be sufficient parking for all of you guys. We can comfortably fit 8-10 cars in my buddy's driveway / hangar alone. That and there is a couple of open places as well.
If the weather is good we may be able to take a few of you out in the helicopters on site. Can't make any promises yet but expect the worst and hope for the best.
One of my friends wants to see if he can do some aerial shots of the cars. We will have to figure out the parking set up once everyone is there.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
