Default Artificial slope soaring

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.
