Earlier tonight Dennis sent me some iPhone photos taken in an air-conditioned “glass tent” during the setup of his exhibit at the Bahrain Grand Prix. As followers of my Porsche blog may know, he is in that part of the globe by invitation to show his sculpture during the F1 racing event to be held starting on Friday, April 17. He tells us that he has met with Sheikh Salman, champion Middle East Porsche GT3 racer and Porsche fan/fanatic, is coordinating with Bernie Ecclestone’s (chief executive of international Formula One racing) F1 communication staff, and is scheduled to meet with the Crown Prince. He also says that his exhibit has been written up in something called the Gulf Weekly, an important news magazine for that region. Stay tuned!
By the way, Dennis is the friend who has helped me now and then do bodywork on my own car, in case you didn’t know. And I built a website (temporarily unavailable) for Dennis’ Speed For The Need charitable work and have photographed some of his pieces.
