The Mayfield Company, of which Mayfield Motorsports is an
integral part, was founded on August
11, 1972 by Cathy Welsh and
Larry Mayfield (aka DrMayf) and incoporated in
Las Vegas, Nevada at the Little Chapel of the Flowers. The Company's first office was in Santa Maria, Ca, but we
remained there only a few short years. The next office was located in Seattle,
Wa., where the staff size grew by one, Lawrence
Montgomery Mayfield: a welcome addition to the staff. The next
office location was in Oak Ridge, Tn. where the Company remained for
approximately four years. We expanded again while in Oak Ridge.
Phillip Justin Mayfield joined our team.
Subsequently, the Company returned to Santa Maria for six stable years. A
midnight call moved the Company to Madison, Alabama, where we acquired a
senior member of the Company, Mr. Laurence
Welsh. When our youngest child graduated from Bob Jones High School, we decided
to move to Pahrump, NV. We have been in Pahrump since July 2000. Sadly, I must also report that Mr. Welsh passed away four days after his 81st birthday on September 18th, 2004: he is missed very much.
Our Sunbeam Tiger
Project: We have owned a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger since January
of 1967. We are continously rejuvinating the various components to maintain
it's driveability, although it is not very comfortable!
Our Sunbeam Alpine
Project: We purchased a Series V Alpine rust bucket. It is becoming an ET Bracket car and Bonneville LSR car and is currently being reassembled. It has a full frame, race strut front suspension, 9" Ford differential, AOD, and a potent DSS Ford 306 with dual turbos installed. No, it is not a Tiger wannabie. See Updates!
Automotive Technical Analyses: See Updates!
I enjoy performing technical analyses for items associated with either the Tiger or Alpine. This page contains a few that I felt good about: rod ratios, Tiger steering, Alpine/Tiger Horsepower vs speed calculations. Others will be added as time permits (like cooling systems).
