Computer simulation is used to study the ability of a proposed silicon-scintillating fiber tracking system for SDC to correctly interpret $Z\sp\prime\to e\sp+e\sp-$ events. Two versions of the Lund Monte Carlo model for inelastic non-diffractive events are compared to existing data and then evaluated at $\sqrt{s}=40$ TeV. We use the two versions to generate the associated particles in $Z\sp\prime\to e\sp+e\sp-$ events and find that the predicted occupancy in the proposed tracking system varies by $\approx$50% between the two versions. The tracking system is able to reconstruct the $e\sp+e\sp-$ tracks with nearly 100% efficiency in either case. We find that the leptonic asymmetry, $A\sb{fb}$ can be accurately measured for $.5\le M\sb{Z\sp\prime}\le 7$ TeV.
