Who Contributes to the Website?
In the past few years since Driveline's beginning, it wouldn't have been possible to maintain the
steady growth of the site without the help of a number of contributors. In past times these have mainly been
photographers submitting photos to the gallery, but in more recent times Driveline has grown to accept not only more photographic help,
but assistance in upcoming event management, and also general site & newsletter management. These contributors are recognised below.

Brodie Butler
Proprietor / Head Photographer
Canon 30D DSLR
Brodie holds the vision for the Driveline Concept and has led the site since its beginning in 2004, including building the entire site from scratch. The original kick start was assisted by Ross Dobbie who also contributed the name "Driveline" for us to use, and by Peter Boyle who has been helpful on the web development side of things. Brodie took up photography at around the same time as the birth of the site, and has been the main contributor of photos throughout the entire site still to this day, including personally handling all the feature articles and conducting the photoshoots!

Richard McDowell
Photographer
Canon 5D & 20D DSLR
If you've ever seen a WA car in HPI, Hot 4s, Street Commodores, Zoom, a Ford mag or more in the past 20 years ... chances are it was shot and written up by the one known as Uncle Rick or The Leprechaun.
Rick began shooting motorbikes at Barbagallo Raceway in 1987 (yes, 87, as in eighty - seven !!) and has been a WASCC accredited photographer for some 15 years now.
Rick is also one of the main photographers at the Perth Motorplex and has worked at The Plex ever since it opened for the 2000 / 2001 season.
Rick's full time work encompasses handling the WA side for no less than 14 Australian National car magazines and many of his features also make it into a variety of overseas magazines.
After the best part of 20 years shooting WA motorsport as well as Perth's key modified cars of all genres, Rick is still full of enthusiam for his photography.
In fact, when he is not shooting cars, Uncle Rick can be found in some remote part of the Wheatbelt or up a deserted bush track developing his nature / bush photography business.

John has been into cars for as long as he can remember. He started customising model car kits at age 8 and moved onto the real thing at 16 where he dabbled in Drag Racing and club based circuit work. John took up photography twenty odd years ago and then gave it up for a while, but fortunately he got back into it in 2005.
If he's not at the drags crewing, John is usually down there shooting. John is also the owner of the ute [BIANTE12], and the website.
