Yes, if you could get that same truck with another load, at about the same time of day, you could try to set up the same circumstances and show that you enter on green, but with full load cannot exit the intersection before the light turns red. Not sure if simply timing the light will work, as the court most likely has no idea how long it takes to get that rig moving.
In order to avoid taking the truck through that intersection again, you could do as you said and time the light, but then also find non-road, but hard ground with about the same up-slope and time (on camera) how long it takes you to travel the required distance. The trick here is, as you were #3 in line, it took you longer than usual to get up to the line before the light. As the light was still green, you continued on through. Now you are committed - you pushed the truck to its limits and still could not clear the large intersection before the yellow light (which doesn't last long) turned red.
I'm guessing that the green light changed to yellow about the time your cab was underneath the light - in which case you were already committed to crossing the intersection.
If you had been first in line at the light, do you think you would have cleared before it turned red?
