It's something you have to work up to but pretty much anything can take turn 3 wide open as long as you have the brakes to stop for turn 4. Thats the real limiting factor on turn 3. The supercharged BRZ I was using in this video has no aero and I do about 125 through there foot all the way down. That said, dont show up on day 1 and think "yeah I can do this wide open I saw it on the internet" you still have to build into that speed since, like I point out in the video, theres a pretty massive bump for where the NASCAR safer barriers get installed.
@@radratracing3225 I understand but I have been to Pocono North Many times I ran it 55.1 and I don’t see how you can that the turn flat out at 130MPH that’s 208 km/h the bump/deep is huge across the whole entry I will not believe it until I see it…. Maybe with 2 tons Aero and with 0 bump the it’s a possibility
@@IgorekGQ While I appreciate your perspective, I have several hundred laps on Pocono north, run races there and instructed with several organizations. You are correct that the bump is the width of the track but it is much more severe on the far right of the entry. Since the track was damp the day I shot this and I never go full tilt when I'm filming for these videos, I lifted to about 50% throttle for turn 3 in the laps shown, but I can assure you that on a normal dry day I take that wide open at 125-130 with 0 areo on my car. Again I want to stress that is not something you should attempt on your first outing here, but it is possible for most vehicles.
Ty for this advice and video
I am ashamed that I read the title as "Pocono North Wilkesboro" a few times before correcting myself.
T3 Flat out at 130MPH??? On what car?

Trust me I am all for it when you do so please let me see the Logs I would love to see it and if it’s true then I can run there probably 52-53 second.
