Red Racer Factory

The Red Racer Factory is an abandoned tricycle factory in the Capital Wasteland.

Information
Situated just a bit northeast of the Nuka-Cola Plant, it is where you will meet Goalie Ledoux and two members of his gang, Sudden-Death Overtime.



The factory is infested with Feral Ghouls and Super Mutants. If the player's hacking skill is high enough, he can find a terminal in the CEO Offices area of the plant. From here, the player can select the option of disabling chips. Doing so will cause all the enemies in the facility, except for two, to have their heads explode.

Further inside the CEO offices, the player will encounter a mad scientist called The Surgeon who is armed with a Missile Launcher.

There is also a Glowing One named Stefan, who is revealed from the notes of the Surgeon to be a ghoul under his control. The Surgeon's notes also reveal that he placed chips inside the brains of the super mutants and ghouls in the plant, which is why disabling them made their heads explode. On The Surgeon's body is a key that will will open up two safes nearby and the cage holding Stefan, as well as a Missile Launcher and the Surgeon's Lab Coat.

If you are wearing the Ghoul Mask, you don't need to kill a single enemy here as all appear green. Furthermore, you will be able to talk to The Surgeon albeit he will tell you that he's busy and you should leave him alone.

Notable Loot
You can find Nikola Tesla and You behind a locked door (Lockpicking 50 required) in CEO offices.

A copy of Dean's Electronics is well hidden near a toolbox in the first assembly room straight forward from the main entrance. Jump up onto some barrels to get onto one of the machines and find it.
