Kalevi Suurosen surmanajoauto DSC09285

During the Circus Festival in Kerava this car was to be seen in the Library. Kalevi Suuronen used this car in the Wall of Death or motordrome show when he drove inside a drum- or barrel-shaped wooden cylinder. Kalevi Suuronen is the son of the famous motordrome driver Onni Suuronen. Onni drove motorcycles and this kind of cars for 50 years. The last time he was 72 years old. He started his career in 1948. Kalevi started in 1971 and drove for 25 years. They also drove in the same motordrome at the same time. One drove a car and the other a motorcycle.
I remember Onni Suuronen show visiting my childhood village. I did not see the show but I heard it.
