Eric Van Wagenen raced at club level in NASA, a national multiclass championship where amateur and professional drivers share the track across 15 classes. He competed in the CMC class, running American pony cars with limited modifications, and the Super Unlimited class over two seasons from 2003 to 2004.[1]
Van Wagenen made 11 starts and took two wins and eight podiums. He was most active in 2003, when the bulk of his racing took place. His final indexed season in 2004 saw him complete two rounds with one podium finish before his record ends.[2]
He raced regularly against Mike Plum and David Morin, both developing drivers in the same series, and typically finished ahead of them across multiple meetings. Van Wagenen's record was strongest in his first year; his racing ceased after the 2004 season.
