No longer working after cutback, climbing with kids inside racing car (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dragster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'no longer working after cutback climbing with kids' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'kids' could be 'rags' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rags' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'inside' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dragster that I've seen before include "Racing car" , "Car adapted for acceleration race" , "Bike" , "Racing-car" , "Vehicle" .)
