Ben founded the V8 Daily Dump in November 2003 and has watched the site grow into the informative V8 Supercar site it is today. Ben owns a Computer Consultancy business in Sydney which is under the V8 Daily Dump umbrella. In his spare time Ben enjoys Trial Bike riding, watching V8 Supercar events and spending quality time with family and friends. Ben admits he is a bit of a control freak and most of his friends will tell you that. He values a high standard of work and hopes the V8 Daily Dump showcases this.

Keith Thomson
Technical Director

Keith akas 'Brute' lives on the Gold Coast. He's a passionate V8 Supercar fan and an automotive writer. You won’t find his name on any book, but 10,000 mechanics around Australia and New Zealand read what he writes every day in working on your motor cars. Keith's job has him dissecting all the latest electronic systems from manufacturers all around the world and writing about these systems so your local motor mechanic knows how to fix them when they go wrong. How did Keith get involved with The V8 Daily Dump, well he was dribbling on about something or other on a forum and Ben asked if he could use it on The V8 Daily Dump and it’s gone on from there. Keith does not profess to know all, but does try to be as un-biased and informative as he can in the articles that he writes.

Mark Greenwood
Chief Engineer

Marky Mark lives on Sydney's north shore and whilst he spends his week days programming website's, most of his spare time is spent obsessing over motorsports and his big boys toys. If it goes fast, Mark follows it! If you've got a question about a series other than the Aussie V8's Mark is probably the guy to ask. Whilst Mark did a few bits and pieces of the original V8 Daily Dump, the new site programming is all his. A specialist in interfaces, database solutions and a bit of a perfectionist, Mark too hopes you all love the new V8 Daily Dump.
