Easy City Downs

Easy City Downs is a location in the Commonwealth $$

Background
The area is built upon a pre-War horse track, now inhabited by raiders and Triggermen. There are also a number of non-hostile robots racing around the track, which include models such as the Mister Gutsy, Mister Handy, Assaultron, and Eyebot. Throughout the area, there are several terminals that can be used to shut the bots down, turn them on the raiders and Triggermen, or cause them to self-destruct.

Layout
The northwest side consists of derelict bleachers, while southwest is Eager Ernie's lair on the upper floor, accessible by the walkway from the center or by jumping on the two table umbrellas from the stands. To the east is the actual track, in the center of which are a number of small fortifications filled with minor loot and raiders. On the south side of the center is a stable where the backups bots are stored.

Notable loot

 * Tumblers Today issue #1 - On the upper floor of the southwestern building with Eager Ernie, on a small table west of the master control terminal.
 * Eager Ernie's key and password - On Ernie's body. The password can be used to access a computer terminal located on the second floor, which gives the following six options: 1) stop the race (deactivates the robots, causing them to stand idly in place), 2) change the race route, 3) override targeting parameters (makes the robots hostile to the raiders and Triggermen), 4) disable combat inhibitors (makes the robots hostile to the player), 5) release 3 more robots onto the track, and 6) initiate a self-destruct sequence.
 * Scrapper's note - In the shed which houses the replacement robots, on the desk beside the robot control terminal.
 * Associate's note - On a raider or Triggerman.
 * The Bugle repertoire - Carried by Ol' Rusty, the eyebot leading the race. This holotape plays trumpet music from the Pip-Boy.
 * Racetrack advertisement - On the first floor of the main building, beside the computer terminal.
 * Ice cold Gwinnett pale - Behind Eager Ernie, on a table.
 * Stealth Boy - To the left of the master control terminal, inside an exposed drawer.
 * At least 25 Pre-War money - On the first floor of the main building, in the cash registers.
