Easy City Downs

Easy City Downs is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
It is a small city built from a pre-War horse track and is 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 is derelict bleachers, 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. East of that is the actual track, in the center of the track is 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, upon 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 2nd floor, which gives the following options: 1) to end the race (the robots deactivate and stand idly in place), 2) release 3 more robots onto the track, 3) disable combat inhibitors (makes all the robots hostile to the player), 4) override their targeting system (make the robots hostile to the raiders), 5) 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 Sole Survivor must know Libertalia's current boss Wire, otherwise, the note will not spawn.
 * 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.
 * 40 Pre-War money - On the first floor of the main building, in the cash registers.
