I would bet that all of you running bars now would find a way to make the car launch safely without bars if you had to. Just sayin......

Might be time for Ford, GM and MOPAR to release rear bumper covers with notches for those cars. They could say they are for tail pipes.
Notice the experts have 1320 in their screen names? LOL

Possibly, but some may slow down.

I'm not against them per say, I just was calling out the folks earlier who went on about 1000+HP car scenario, bla, bla, bla. Having spent some time now in the Heads-Up world outside of Stockers, my views on wheelie bars have changed I guess. No one wants to hear, or discuss that here though. If you are allowed to use them, then you can set the car up one way. If you are forced to do without them, you have to adapt and change the suspension & ballast, etc. on the car. Ride height can also come into play if the car is so low that you are notching the rear valance. < (Just an option) The notching could also be avoided by changing the wheelie bar design. These are all things that everyone here or that runs a high letter Stocker is smart enough to figure out if it came down to a "must comply" ruling. A rule specification seems to be in order and as you hinted, it may already be in the works. I too have had my dealings with the way the rules are written, and have had a few "dead end" discussions with Pat and others, but in the end, I ended up making things work within the "rules", and suggesting clarification in the good book.

I never claimed to be an "expert" Mr. Super Stocker...... just adding in a little outside the box thinking.

Some of the best shops in the country are building these Stockers. And they are running wheelie bars on them and you're the only one out here with your coulda, shoulda, woulda stuff. Try building and racing a high letter Stocker today before coming out here and telling us how we should do it.
