Artificial slope soaring

Getting a big enough slope nailed to the front of a lorry may be a problem,
what happens when you come to bridges?

Sure would liven up watching a bunch of cars going round in circles!
Just imagine if they missed catching the wave. Splat - game over.

The "lorries" in The States are big enough, without nailing anything on.
They make a HUGE wave. If you have ever ridden a motorcycle or driven a
small, light car alongside one of them on the superslab, you would remember
it. Particularly when they pull up and pass you. When you are young, you
always have to experiment, at least once, with "draft".
