Abstract

I will be talking about Dirt track racing from a driver's point of view,

In addition, I will be talking about online gaming from a gamers' point of view.

DIRT TRACK RACING AND ONLINE GAMING 3

Dirt track racing is the adrenaline junkies dream, as well as the ultimate test of courage.

People across the United States and abroad enjoy the sport of Dirt track racing.

As a driver of a race car there is many things to do before race day, so it stays together on the track.

When driving one of these cars you will experience many emotions.

One of those emotions is fear, but not the kind of fear you would think.

When you are sitting on the front strait waiting for the officials to let you on the track,

your stomach is in knots. When the green flag drops, every driver knows if you make it first through turn one,

you will most likely win the race. When you go into a turn, you are so close to the car next to you,

that your door if on the outside lane, is rubbing the cars door on the inside lane,

and at that time you are so close to that car; you could reach out and give him a high five.

When you enter a turn your going about sixty five to seventy miles per hour,

and on a dirt track if your tires don't have the right amount of air, your car will push,

which means it won't turn, or it could be very loose, and you will slide off the track.

When you are flying around turn four to the finish line, the feelings you get are indescribable.

I believe it would compare to waking up Christmas morning as a child.

I would have to say that I have had more fun driving a racecar, more than anything else I have ever done.

The online gaming market is worth over 15 Billion dollars. With this kind of

money who buys these games? I have found that the income demographic is around 27,000 –

70,000 average income of the gamer. How much time does the average gamer spend playing

video games? According to the online MBA, gamers spend more than 17

Billion hours playing Xbox live, and as much or more on the pc; this is more than 2 hours for

every person on the planet. The average age of an online gamer is, 25-44 years of age, equally

split between genders. Fantasy RPG's (Roll Playing Games) rank highest for the most

players snagging over 92% of all gamers.

Combat arms has been said to be the biggest free online FPS

(First Person Shooter) game by far. To date call of duty modern warfare 2 has had over 4.1

Million down loads since its inception on November 10 2009 with the Sims falling in second

at, 3.2 million since its release date on June 2 2009. The resources I have found, show

that aggressive behavior in children can be attributed to the repeated violence in the games they

play. With all this information, I have found that more Americans play video games, more than

any other entertainment.
