Bore people in speed contest
I believe the answer is:
drag race
'speed contest' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'bore people' is the wordplay.
'bore' becomes 'drag' (I've seen this before).
'people' becomes 'race'.
'drag'+'race'='DRAG-RACE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drag race that I've seen before include "competitive drive" , "Short competition to test cars' acceleration" , "Short car event to test acceleration" , "Acceleration contest between cars" , "Contest of car acceleration" .)
