I believe it is not NHRA legal to stick weld chromoly metal and also not a good idea in general.
It is also not a good idea to do any stick welding on any drag race car component ?

Stick weld would not be a problem. HOWEVER any arc welding on the rear end HOUSING must be done in short segments as arc welding uses a ton more heat and you could warp the housing if not careful. The exact type rod I cannot advise on. Personally I would use just a regular mild steel rod.
Before ANY welding, unhook the battery as electronics can be damaged.
