High Stakes, Low Rider

High Stakes, Low Rider is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Varrios Los Aztecas gang leader Cesar Vialpando from his home in the El Corona district in Los Santos, San Andreas.

Mission
Carl gets a lowrider car and drops by Cesar's house in El Corona. The two drive to the street race's starting point near the Commerce district and race against four other cars. Carl then traverses through the districts of the western part of Los Santos, before reaching the last checkpoint in Santa Maria Beach first. He then wins the race and earns a monetary reward.

Script
Cesar Vialpando: Heeyy, CJ, you made it!

Carl Johnson: What's the bi'ness?

Kendl Johnson: Hey CARL!

Carl Johnson: Hey, baby.

Cesar Vialpando: Nice ride, man. That's no carrucha! You sure you want to risk that baby?

Carl Johnson: Yeah, I'm sure. How much they talking about?

Cesar Vialpando: It's hard cash or your pink slip in the pot. Con Safos, eh. Then you pull up and race. First past the post wins, con chota, sin chota.

Carl Johnson: OK, for sure, I'm down.

Cesar Vialpando: Watch out, CJ, these boys don't like to lose, eh...

Carl Johnson: Yeah, well me either.

Cesar Vialpando: Follow me to the race, dude!

Reward
The reward for this mission is $1,000. The race may be later replayed as part of the Los Santos Race Tournaments, which can be accessed in Little Mexico after the completion of Learning to Fly much later in the game. Although completion of these races is mandatory for 100% completion (and for the $1 million award), since Carl has already completed the race here, he does not need to do it again, except to improve his time (which has no bearing on completion of the tournament).

Trivia

 * The extremely poor handling of most lowrider vehicles, including their tendency to spinout, increases the challenge of being able to successfully complete this mission.
 * In the cutscene, Kendl is in the car with Cesar, but afterwards a generic female citizen is in the car.
 * If you fail the mission, Kendl will call and mock you for losing the race.
 * You are required to have a lowrider to enter the race. However, two Majestics are also present in the race, even though they are not lowriders.
