World Professional Chuckwagon Association
The World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) is an association made up of professional cowboys and successful business people with an interest in preserving western heritage and providing exciting 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 mentor's 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 GMC Pro Tour. It is the most senior and highest level of professional chuckwagon racing in the world, offering the richest purses and highest tarp prices on any other recognized chuckwagon association. Also, outside of the WPCA GMC 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 GMC 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.

Famous quotes containing the words world, professional and/or association:
“Seeing is believing, and if an American success is to count for anything in the world it must be clothed in the raiment of property. As often as not it isn’t the money itself that means anything; it is the use of money as the currency of the soul.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Three words that still have meaning, that I think we can apply to all professional writing, are discovery, originality, invention. The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
