Dragster's brake made car heat up (9)
I believe the answer is:
parachute
'dragster's brake' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'made car heat up' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'car'+'heat'+'up'='carheatup'
'carheatup' with letters rearranged gives 'PARACHUTE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parachute that I've seen before include "Eat up char for something to break your fall" , "canopy" , "Equipment for making a descent from an airplane" , "It breaks a fall from the sky" , "Equipment to break a fall from the sky" .)
