Retook the question. I can see how the survey would have been skewed the first time.

The "Arcade" category was hard for me to put a finger on because the term "Arcade" mostly refers to a game's gameplay mechanic: more than a genre it could be considered a gameplay descriptor since the games that fall under the "arcade" description could also fall under the "action" or "rpg" genre just as well, making it redundant (e.g. Capcom's Dungeons&Dragons: Shadow over Mystara is a side-scrolling fighting game with RPG elements; it has both Action and Role-Playing elements in it).
About your question, I don't know if I'm right about it but (edit: with the options available in my survey) judging from the definition of an action game:
"[it] is a video game genre that emphasizes physical challenges, including hand–eye coordination and reaction-time."
So, since an arcade version of a racing game focuses on hand-eye coordination and reaction-time for it to be fun and it's an adrenaline rush of action, I'd consider it prevalently an Action game.
... But I'm no gaming master. My words aren't set in stone :P
[EDIT: I've edited my post way too much for my own good. Sorry]

Redid the 2nd question. I believe I did it right the first time with each category having a different number. I'm similar to you, with story and gameplay being #1 and #2 and MP being dead last.

Hi everyone,
I managed to collect nearly 600 survey entries and I owe it all to you guys. :)
As promised here are the results for the 8 questions [plus one extra ;) ]
(Note: Unfortunately, because of both the poor clarity of my question and my lack of knowledge about SurveyMonkey's survey editor, question #2 was answered incorrectly by more than half of you guys. The stats can still serve a partial purpose, but not for anything too serious)
I'd be grateful if you guys could simply re-answer this single question... for science... you monsters.
(there's only 1 question in it: it'll take you 30 seconds to complete).
No giveaways this time, sorry. I can't afford to make a good one as of yet :(
2. In what order of importance would you place the following elements of a game?
3. How important is realism in a video game to you?
4. Do you frequently play games on a Desktop or Portable Computer?
5. How do you usually listen to your games?
6. Does your computer have a dedicated sound card?
7. Do you believe that the computer's on-board audio is good enough for your gaming needs?
8. Would you be willing to invest in a sound card if it would guarantee a crystal clear sound experience?
9. Thank you for having taken my survey :)
Example on how to answer the linked question:
You can only choose one number per category. It's practically like saying what element in a video game do you love the most (#1 in your list) and what element do you love the least (#7 on your list), which in my example would be:
1) Storytelling and Narrative
2) Fun/Interesting Gameplay
3) Art Style
4) Good/Immersive Graphics
5) Music
6) Good/Immersive Sound Effects
7) Multiplayer
