Caption from metadata: "Kaija Kalevala, who's about to turn 80, reminisces about her career as a pioneer race car driver in the 1940s in Finland, and then at the old Digney Speedway in South Burnaby. She was the first woman to race at the Speedway and her fellow racers presented her with an autographed checkered flag when she retired to take up truck rodeo."
