And at nighttime it’s VooDoo Grudge time, with the Midwest’s baddest grudge bikes and rider pairing up for northern Ohio’s ballingest bettors to trade bills along the wall, race after race. Vince Hileman on “Family Man,” Teasley on Chris “CJ” Johnson’s “Tommy Gunn,” Joey Jobbe on “Anti-Social,” the MSP bikes “Clean Getaway” and “Big Greezy,” Louisville’s Brandon Holland on “Killer Bee,” and more are expected to pair up and throw down.
