Kurt Bøgh (circa.1943 – 20 August 2011) was an international speedway rider from Denmark.[3] [4] He was a member of the Denmark national speedway team.
Kurt Bøgh won four silver medals and three bronze medals during the Danish Individual Speedway Championship in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1974.[5] [6]
He won a silver medal during the Speedway World Pairs Championship in the 1973 Speedway World Pairs Championship.[7]
Bøgh together with his younger brother Ernst Bøgh was instrumental in helping to form the Holsted Speedway Klub in 1974. The pair rode for the club in the Danish Speedway League.[8]
Unlike the top Danes of the era he did not ride in the British leagues despite an attempt by Oxford Cheetahs to sign him in 1968 as a replacement for broken leg victim Arne Pander.[9]
His brother Ernst Bøgh was also a speedway rider.[2]
