With our second round pick, Lemelin's Lemmings are prood to select from Tri-Cities Washington the
Shelby SuperCars (SSC) Ultimate Aero.
There was a lot if debate about filling one of the old school slots but at this point in the draft it was just too hard to pass on the reigning fasted and most powerful production car on the planet. For now we feel that the SSC Ultimate Aero will fit in nicely in our North American slot.
