PKF Carr & Stanton’s client, John Verry and his Napier based CNC machining business, SMB Productions, are on a quest for a third New Zealand Jet Sprint Championship title. They're also aiming for the inaugural World Jet sprinting Championship in the LS Class.

Any sport involving cars or boats demands immense support and dedication to compete at the highest level. PKF Carr & Stanton, alongside other sponsors, is proud to support John, his team and the “Link ECU” boat, competing in the LS Class of the NZ Jet Sprinting Championship.

Jet Sprinting is a high-octane sport, with the V8 Chevy in John’s boat producing 580hp, it can reach speeds of up to 120kms per hour in a straight line, navigate 90-degree turns at 100kms per hour, and generate up to 4 G’s when cornering – definitely not for the faint hearted!

New Zealand will also host the World Jet Sprinting Championship in 2025, with events in Wanaka in January and Whanganui in February.

We wish John and his team the very best for their next New Zealand title race in Whanganui on the 27th December 2024, and in the upcoming World Championships.
