Artificial slope soaring
Interesting, thanks!
Here is a link, maybe old news, to a MacCready instructing Alan Alda
on how to fly a walkalong:

Has anyone thought about trying this with a full sized sailplane?
Perhaps a Sparrowhawk and a big-rig truck?
I don't see anything in the Sporting Code that would prevent someone
claiming a distance or speed record if the technique could be refined
and the appropriate roads could be found.
