I am very good friends with Curtis’s son and there family is like a second family to me I’ve heard the whole story from his wife and he died and was revived 3 times in the process and made it through thanks to god. He is doing amazing now still loving racing. I just went pheasant hunting this weekend with him and he is doing better than ever
Love the channel! Love seeing the sport grow as big as it is now! Keep it up sir! 👊🏽
It’s a miracle that Curtis survived that horrible accident.
I was 13, and it happened right in front of us. There are two things you said that i can confirm. They did park the ambulances around the car and use towels to obscure the view of his extraction, and I'll never forget the sound of the collision.
I was 14, I was in section X right near top row. will never forget thar wreck!
I remember watching this live. They never showed a replay. I thought he was gone. That crash was brutal.
I remember seeing Curtis race at the Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Missouri in 2015 in one of the ASCS divisions.
I grew up watching curtis race in west central missouri and never knew about this crash till i saw it on youtube about 6-7 years ago
And his son races micros occasionally at sweet spring motorsports complex
I was at this race when I was 8. Watched it from the front stretch near turn 1&2 with my dad. I remember them pulling out the tarp to cover up the car while they were getting him out and into the ambulance.
I was there for that one. I was working for Mark and Karl Kinser. I was checking our tires and heard the race start then a bomb went off. We all looked at each other as to say what was that. Scary moments for sure.
Saw it from afar on the front stretch. My first time at the nationals and knoxville. Was quite the welcome. To this day my dad still thinks he passed because thats what everyone was saying.
Curtis did an interview after this where he talked about the accident and what he experienced and who talked to him. I wish I could find this video again so if this video takes off and you know of that video or where to find it please post a link.
I’ve seen people talking about the interviews he did, I really wish they were archived, would’ve been a good addition to the video
This happened directly in front of me. Watching the safety crew explain to the family what was up is one of my least moments at the track ever.
Saw that with Justin Owen's crash at Lawrenceburg. Horrible start to the year. It's completely gut-wrenching.
Just wanted to throw a piece of information I heard. So via the Thunder in the Mountains Series from Lynn Schaefer Productions, the 2005 version, there was a clip from the east bay winter nationals where during intermission, Paul Sides prepared a car and allowed Curtis to do a couple of green flag laps and did an interview with him. From the little I saw from the VHS tape, had to have been a sight for sore eyes
It was a miracle that Curtis was not a Code 10. He was more than likely a Code 05. Code 10 means fatality. Code 05 means serious and potentially life-threatening injuries
I think code 6
I don't know about the numbers...but a commenter that knows him said they had to bring him back three times.
I was standing in the pits approximately 30' from where Curtis Boyers car came to rest! I can still hear that carnage in my ears to this day.
We were probably standing close to you when this happened. What you said about the sound of this is very true. I can still hear it today.
This looks BAD in the video, but seeing and hearing this in person had quite an affect on me. I was standing along the fence in the pits on the back stretch . This happened right in front of us. The sound of the the whole thing was unbelievable then it was completely silent except for the safety crews for several seconds. It was something one will never forget
Are you going to the nationals this year?
I wish, I’m all the way in cali so we never really get to go
There was a crash at the Knoxville Nationals I think in the late 80's that was the worst I have seen. Cliff Woodard was the driver. He slid up coming out of turn 1 and caught the front bar of another car sending him full speed nearly head on into the wall. The car disintegrated and was tumbling when he was struck by another car. I don't how he survived. My dad has it on VHS somewhere.
This was one of those times where I was almost certain I’d watched a fatality. Thank goodness I was wrong.
curtis has a son that races micro sprints all around the Midwest.
It’s peculiar how that Brad Doty was there announcing and how very similar the two crashes were!
Knoxville has the best emergency track crew n dirt racing
saw it happen live...know curtis was knocked out but they were very quiet about it was never sure how bad it was.
brutal
Damnnnnnnn
If you see this I know Curtis Boyer and I know his son
