History... Deloy Naeb / Brighton, Co - Auto Racing Memories

Joel Miller · 08-19-2009, 10:59 AM

I have recently acquired Deloy's "Pooch" 1958 Corvette that he took the street elim class with at the 1966 Tulsa World Finals. The car is extremely rough but I am not going to let it languish. My intent is to bring the car back the way it was raced. Over the years Deloy's scrapbook has gotten away thus I am in need of any clippings, photographs, or first hand experiences with this car. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Deloy curently lives in Tijeras NM and is enthusiastic about the restoration.

That's great news Joel. Always like to see historic race cars restored. I've seen photos of it, but unfortunately don't have any. Most of my recollections of the Naebs were of their Lakeside stock car involvement. Deloy's dad Reinie showed me some photos/newspaper clippings once of his drag racing accomplishments. He was pretty proud of that.
