Stupidity of one racing when drunk (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignorance

'stupidity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one racing when drunk' is the wordplay.
'when drunk' indicates an anagram (a drunken or disorderly form of the letters).
'one'+'racing'='oneracing'
'oneracing' is an anagram of 'IGNORANCE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ignorance that I've seen before include "......... of the law is no excuse for breaking it" , "being uninformed" , "Groin acne (anag.)" , "Being in the dark" , "Nescience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
