as far stockers with wheelie bars go. i feel they are more of a safety device to keep things from getting out of hand. unless the car has suspension device like say the pete z bars, or something similar that won't allow the housing to rotate a bunch. like say a cal-trac would. you realy can't steer the car with it accurately. because as the the wheelie bar makes contact with the ground it, unwinds the spring, as well as unloadling the tires.
that's just my opinion , but i hope it helps answer your question.
Great answer Mark. I know your past experience in all the above mention classes and your chassis and suspension expertise, evidenced by your own Super Stocker and customers successes, Markow Race Cars brings a little more than an opinion!!

Hope to see all the crew at the Dutch.
