Road hog to go quickly before the rest, maybe (9)
I believe the answer is:
speedster
'road hog' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'go quickly before the rest maybe' is the wordplay.
'go quickly' becomes 'speed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'rest' anagrammed gives 'ster'.
'speed'+'ster'='SPEEDSTER'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for speedster that I've seen before include "He's Fleet" , "Fast car (or driver)" , "sports car" .)
