Weight transfer is a critical component in those vehicles that can stand up. Most, but not necessarily all, of the wheelstanders have serious engine relocations & other traction tricks. I don't know who wrote it, but he was right when he said that serious performance losses occur when the car stands up.
The only bloke that i knew to master it in Australia drove [on the street] a 1937 Fiat Topolino with Chrysler 392 Hemi with 671 lung & it ran on Methanol [alky]. He could carry the front wheels a few inches from the road on launch, & hold them there, but it was hard to steer like that.
Like the 1200 coupe in the photo, the only Fiat part in this specially constructed car, was the body shell. Most wheelstanders suffer from front end damage on landing from time to time. They usually don't show you that in the photo's.

I do not know how "driveable" a wheelstander could be, but the Fiat got about 2 miles per gallon [of methanol] & developed somewhere near 1000 horsepower, so trust me, it DID NOT get driven a lot.

Bella's ute sounds good, but i wonder which plate purchaser is paying for it.

P.S. I don't race, i'm too old to be a highway hero anymore & i'm not into pi##ing contests, no matter what form they take.

OOOH
You mean Wheelstand & not a stand for your wheel, which is what a Wheel Stand would be.
The car in your photo is an all out custom built competition vehicle that uses what looks like a 1200 coupe body as one of the components in it's construction.

If you think that you can install a hot engine in your street[?] car & have it stand up....... your'e dreaming.

Why do you WANT to wheelstand, it only slows your times down. While wheel standing may look impressive, the idea is to try and keep the front end on the ground.

But if you really wanna wheel stand, go as fast as you can in reverse, put it in 1st and pop the clutch....let us know how ya go
