Old Stuff
I like old stuff. That's actually why this website isn't better coded. This is probably the biggest page and the page to get updated most.

Goody's Dash Series Youtube Things
Here are some dash series videos on youtube.. These are from the one dash series race playlist, so if you have any races that are not in the playlist, or new ones added, please send the races in the forums.
Other Goody's Dash Series Youtube Things
I will not put the authors for this one, just the links & names. This will just be other random dash series content I've seen.
NASCAR Wayback Machine Content
This will be random wayback machine content I've "saved," even though it probably will be there for years to come.

Special Dash Series Photos
This will be special dash series photos I think are cool.
Real Life
I don't have all things old in digital. I have some of my old stepdads things. Here are some of them.
As you can see, its a 2009 Samsung SGH-A167. He left no sim card inside it, presumably he took it for another phone, and the only sim card I have is a Verizon one which is NOT GSM, its CDMA, and this is a GSM phone. Sorry got too complicated. Basically I can't use it, I have no sim card.
You can also see the removable battery. And theres a VGA camera on the side that I didn't take a photo of.
This is my stepdad's old CD player. As you can see, it was developed in March 2005. The reason it's chipped is because my brother decided to pry it open with his hands, well, making the lid removable.
This is a 1995 Fujifilm camera he has. As you can see, its filled with 35 millimiter color film already! But there's no batteries, the battery in there probably went dead about 20 years ago before I was even born. Oh well.
But the holy grail of it all would likely be a CRT or Cathode-Ray Tube TV's ( Big Boxy TV's your parents or you never got rid of )
I would love to play old consoles like the GameCube my stepdad has on there.
My school actually has old Magnavox CRT's they never got rid of. I would ask for them, but first off they're on a stand connected to the wall, doing all that for 1 kid is NOT gonna be free. I don't have money lying around, I can't get a job and I don't have an allowance or something like that. And second off, it would be awkward to go up to the front office and be like "Er, can I have those Magnavox TV's?," The look on their face would be weirded out or something. And I would feel humiliated like I have multiple times on occasion with multiple teachers like my old 3rd grade teacher.
Fun facts about old stuff
Did you know VCD's were a thing? This is a common thing, however some people who are into old stuff like my friend don't know it. It's basically a CD, ya know with pits and falls to represent 1's and 0's and such, but instead with video.
Did you know you can catch CRT's interlacing? With our eyes, we normally can't see interlacing. It's just too fast for us and when your eyes jitter around and move they don't pick up the interlacing in between those .3 seconds or 0.3 seconds if you write it like that. I normally write it .3 for faster in code like Lua, since in syntax you can do .3 for 0.3, but 0.3 in formal writing or 3 tenths. Anyway, with a high speed camera you can catch CRT's scanlines interlacing. Oh, and if you don't know what interlacing is, I'll explain it. A CRT or Cathode-Ray tube TV or Television as i said, uses an electron beam. It does one line, then skips one line, then does the next line, and so on. It does this for however many scanlines there are. Then, the next frame it'll do the missing lines. This happens so fast that our brains dont process it and it just looks normal. But as we said, you can capture it with slow motion. Isn't that cool?
Did you know that we still use AWESOME FLOPPY DISKS? Yes, we still use those! Especially in some old military stuff, they use those big, clunky, and old old 8 inch floppy disks o_O. Yeah, they use them at some old military bases. And actually, do you know why they're called floppy disks? Even though your 3 and a half inch floppy disks you most likely used back then if you're reading this aren't floppy? Well I have the answer. Those floppy disks, obviously, are descendants of the 8 inch floppy disks. And part of it was probably because it had a large size, however it was actually floppy! You can find videos on the World Wide Web about 8 inch floppy disks, and MAN those things are floppy. And actually, another fun fact. They use write protection sometimes. Did you want write UNprotection? Well, you could either cut a hole with a little machine you can buy or cut it out yourself putting it ontop of a writeable floppy disk and cutting it out. I don't know how to explain it, but the scissors will be forced into that little negative space of the square, and it'll have to cut a square, giving you write UNprotection.
