At breakneck speed into Point Pine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headlong

'at breakneck speed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'point pine' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'head' (synonyms).
'pine' becomes 'long' (to pine for something is to long for it).
'head'+'long'='HEADLONG'

'into' is the link.

(Other definitions for headlong that I've seen before include "With reckless haste" , "Recklessly" , "great haste" , "Impetuous" , "Rashly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
