Have you considered upgrading your point and shoot camera to a DSLR (digital single lens reflex)? If you’ve become tired of missing out on action shots, think about what a DSLR can do for you. There’s no lag time between depressing the shutter button and when the image is recorded.
I set my Canon EOS 30D with Canon 75-300mm USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) lens to 1/200 shutterspeed priority. The ISO was 800 and I used continuous shooting mode. I held my position, pushed down on the shutter release button and cranked out a series of photos at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here are Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood fleeing the scene at the appropriately titled, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular.

Hi Lisa –
I like how the sense of motion is conveyed not only by Indy and Marion’s running but by the blurring of the airplane propeller tips.

Lisa responds: The fire releases a substance (I’m not a scientist) that when photographed makes whatever is behind it look soft or blurred. A good example is my photo of Maleficent seen here. http://land.allears.net/blogs/photoblog/2010/11/lucky_shot.html
