Next up meet our last judge Julie Jemec aka Jem or Jemiside from her days of being an OG London Thames Fatales roller derby girl! There isn’t anything this girl can’t do on skates. Wifey to Potter lol. Sometimes car enthusiast, and the occasional pinup girl outfits to boot. Energetic go-getter-done attitude! Let's welcome Julie!

Next up on our judging panel, we have Chris Potter! Chris is a 5-year member of the Hellions Car Club and the founder and two-year president of the Crows Nest Chapter in Mount Brydges. When he’s not checking out classic rides, he’s a former member of Team Canada Men’s Roller Derby. Tattooed, wired for fun, and a super fan of both the New Orleans Saints and the St. Clair Saints Windsor—if he doesn’t have a PBR in his hand today, somebody check his pulse!
