"That's if I can afford it. I work seven days a week now to keep me in the stockcar class," the bricklayer for Wynands Masonry said.
Jason is unsure whether he and his nephew will adopt a teams racing approach to their stockcar class racing next season or stir each other up. It's likely to vary from one meeting to next.
When Jason said: "It will be awesome to have the nephew right beside me", it was an indication the youngster could be in for a rugged introduction to the class.
Last season was 16-year-old Regan Penn's fifth and last in the ministock ranks. He is eagerly awaiting his promotion to Jason's class next summer.
One of the most consistent drivers the youth class has produced in the Bay, Regan recorded a second and two third placings at the prestigious Rotorua Ministocks in Paradise meeting during his career. February's meeting is still under protest and his third placing may be improved.
The Napier Boys' High School Year 12 student has won three East Coast titles, several Hawke's Bay titles as well as away titles in Huntly, Wellington and Stratford. Asked how he will handle his step up to the stockcar ranks Regan replied:
"I'll aim to keep my nose out of trouble but I will mix it up if I have to."
Wilson, 49, has been commentating at Meeanee for 18 years but this is the first time he has won the award.
"I've put in more effort during the past few years. Our text competitions and interaction with the crowd was the key to my success," Wilson said.
He raced solo bikes for 15 years and karts for seven years before becoming a commentator for the two forms of motorsport.
A Hawke's Bay champion in both, Wilson, has also commentated at several other tracks including Palmerston North.
"While you don't commentate for the awards it's good to be recognised for it. I commentated during 40 different weekends last summer."
The most improved award was also a first for the club. Buckrell said it reflected the cohesion between his committee and the new promotion team which consisted of Bruce Robertson, Bryan Puklowski and track manager Philippa Jones.
He pointed out phase one of a new lighting system for the track was a major highlight. During the coming months new lights and a new drainage system will be installed in the pit area and the spectator bank at the road end will be made higher to allow better viewing for fans.
"New toilet blocks will be built before next season starts. Basically we want to keep building on our success to make our venue more spectator-friendly ... we will keep putting money back into the facilities."
Buckrell is also the manager of the Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes superstock team which won the Enzed Teams Champs for the first time in February after 36 years of trying with a win against the Great Britain Lions in the final.
The Hawkeyes were finalists for the Team of the Year award which was taken out by the Palmerston North-based Joblin Motorsport team which consists of Adam, Scott and Simon Joblin who all race superstocks.
"From what I hear we were only just pipped for that one, which I was a bit gutted about," Buckrell said.
But overall things are looking good for the future at the club. "All the classes are growing and changes are being made as funding allows," he added.
