CPCA SPEED RACERS

 SPEED is the rate of motion, change or activity.  In chuckwagon racing change is constant and a rapid rate of SPEED is essential to experience the adrenaline and victory.  A great number of drivers have thundered around race tracks across Western Canada in search of victory and although they may cross the finish line first only a few will find "Track Record" beside their name.

It starts with the desire to be the best followed by a 365 day commitment to their equine families and fans,  From training to feeding every horse is cared for to the fullest degree and when they hear the jingle of the harness their ears perk up and they know its race time.  Only a few are chosen and with a creative strategy a driver will hook and head to the track. When the horns sounds all must be in sinc and with a little luck if on that day you steal the rail, get out front and throw in a good a run you may escalate to a new level.

Below are drivers who have executed a high rate of equine speed and recorded track records at current CPCA race locations along with former race tracks across Western Canada and the US:
