The World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) is an association made up of professional cowboys and business people with an interest in preserving western heritage and providing family entertainment. The WPCA promotes and presents chuckwagon racing as a professional sport throughout North America and the world. The WPCA is a close-knit community that mentors its new drivers in safety and professionalism to preserve the integrity of the WPCA and chuckwagon racing in general.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, each summer the WPCA organizes its race season, which is known as the WPCA Pro Tour.[1] It is the most senior[2] and highest level of professional chuckwagon racing in the world, offering the richest[3] purses and highest tarp prices on any other recognized chuckwagon association. Also, outside of the WPCA Pro Tour, WPCA chuckwagon drivers race for ten days at the Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby in Calgary, Alberta and three days at the Colonial Days Fair in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan - both of which feature not only drivers that compete on the WPCA Pro Tour, but some drivers from another chuckwagon racing circuit - the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA).
The WPCA board of directors is made up of elected officers and driver directors with a long-term goal of providing full-time employment for the chuckwagon drivers. The officers of the WPCA are a volunteer advisory group handling the day-to-day business of the association.[4]
