The Southern California region was lucky to have a major event surrounding the brand new Viper right in

our backyard.   The Barrett-Jackson Orange County Auction was selected as the venue for SRT to

donate the first 2013 Viper off the line to the Austin Hatcher Foundation.  This Foundation is dedicated

to provide support and assistance to unfortunate children and their families that suffer with Pediatric Cancer.

The So Cal Club came out to show our support for the incredible SRT brand, the Austin Hatcher Foundation

and Barrett-Jackson.   It was going to be a long day for our Club members.  Many left their homes in the dark

to make it to the staging point on time. 

THANK YOU ALL for your dedication , participation and support !!  40 Vipers came out today to put an exclamation

point on the Gen V Auction.

We gathered a short distance from the OC Fairgrounds.
