If you are unable to attend this weekend’s charity auction of the first 2013 SRT Viper to roll off the assembly line, you can still share in the fun – electronically.
Let driveSRT.com place you right in the middle of the Barrett-Jackson Orange County (Calif.) auction of the new Viper, with all proceeds from the sale going to the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer. The Viper auction is scheduled to begin Saturday at 6 p.m. ET.
A virtual viewing party on Twitter is being hosted by driveSRT. Fans are encouraged to use the #firstSRTviper hashtag to follow the action on Twitter throughout the weekend. https://twitter.com/search/%23firstSRTViper
A Facebook virtual event is also in place. Fans of driveSRT on Facebook can RSVP to the event.
