Jetsprint: Burt wins title

Palmerston North's Richard Burt and navigator Roger Maunder swept all before them in yesterday's third round of the national jetsprint championship at Meremere.

Driving in the super boat category, Burt was over three seconds faster than any of the other 30 teams across the three classes competing for title honours around the water course.

Burt's time in the final run was a 53.66 - over three seconds faster than Wanganui's Pat Dillon and Steve Edmonds in second.
