Dave Warren Will Drive 100

Dave WarrenLeland Unlimited announced that Dave Warren would move up from the Grand Prix West series to become driver of the team’s black and maroon 100

Dave Warren is in his ninth year as a driver, but began his contact with boat racing on the Region 10 rescue team. He was on the rescue team for the Tri-Cities and Seattle Unlimited races for 11 years.

Following a day of work on the rescue team at Tastin & Racin, he was walking around the pits and noticed there was a UL team working on the bottom of the boat and asked if they needed help The next day, on the rescue boat, Dave remembered the huge sense of accomplishment he had when the boat went out to race and came back to the dock.

After that race, he became more involved with the team for the rest of that year and then, the following year, he stopped doing rescue and became a full time team member on the UL929.

The following year, Dave became “crew chief” of the team. Eventually, he got the opportunity to take the boat out for a “test drive” at Black Lake and Port Angeles and instantly fell in love with driving. After that season, Warren purchased the silver and green GP-329 and became an owner/driver and a regular in Grand Prix West. He drove Gordy Gilmer’s GP-60 for two seasons and has spent the past two season in the cockpit of Tom Eckenberg’s GP-19.

Dave Warren lives in Lake Stevens, Washington.
