\_/ (00071) \------------------------------------------------------o
In order to begin this mission first you must find yourself a lowrider car
which just happen to drive around quite frequently around the red marker where
Cesar Vialpando is waiting (CV on your minimap.) In fact you'll likely find
one in his driveway is you look. The first thing you do in the mission is
follow him to the lowrider race, just keep up and you'll be fine. Position
yourself at the starting line and get ready to race. The race is difficult
because low-riders are notorious for sliding, if you come into contact with
any cars or try to make turns while skidding at top speed you're just going to
spin out. The key is to get ahead at the beginning of the race since the
other drivers will be aggressive and try to spin you out, drive on the
sidewalk if you have to in order to get out front at the start. Now your
destinations are the red light pillars you see, they're both in front of your
face and on the minimap. The most important feature however is that within
them is a blue arrow that shows the direction you're going to have to turn
since most of the time you can't divert your eye from the screen. When
approaching a turn break hard BEFORE you actually get there so you skid while
moving forward and don't spin, the take the turn at a reduced speed. This
should keep you in control and far enough ahead to win the race with little
difficulty, it's not too long and your reward is a nice $1000.00.

This mission isn't so much of a mission as it is a cutscene when you arrive,
and since this is a spoiler free guide there's nothing really to say. Once
the scene is over a familiar icon appears and it's time to head back there.

| _ --------o-------\ Wu Zi Mu |
\_/ (00073) \------------------------------------------------------o
Wu Zi Mu is another street race type of mission that takes place out in the
country. The difficulty of this mission in comparison with the last one is
substantial. The race will take more than twice as long, but more difficult
than the time is the terrain. In fact I would barely consider this a race,
because even going at a very safe and slow speed I was never able to even see
the other cars behind me, the challenge comes from two places. First you need
to watch out for the very hilly terrain and avoid flipping your car, second
since the race is so long and bogged with nature's obstacles, you also have to
avoid destroying your car. These two things can be rather difficult.
Get into the front of the pack when the race begins and stay there.
Understand that there are going to be large red light pillars everywhere, and
while it may seem easiest at times to drive directly toward them, the dirt
path you are on will always curve toward them, and driving on the path is far
safer than trying to shortcut your way over a bumpy field or hill. There race
takes you through numerous locations like small towns but it will mostly keep
you out in the woodland area. Drive extremely carefully, especially around
some of those sharp turns and bumpy roads which are really likely to flip you
depending on what car you're using. I used the car just beside Catalina's
cabin as it was pretty fast and easy to handle. You should do the same.

| _ --------o-------\ Farewell, My Love... |
\_/ (00074) \------------------------------------------------------o
This is another racing mission however you step into the red marker as a
person and the car is automatically assigned to you, don't worry, it's a nice
one. Again similar to the last mission it's good to get into first place
eariler on since it's far easier to stay in first place than fight your way
there. Once you've established yourself you'll need to focus on the course.
There are a number of shortcuts you can take, most of them involve bumpier
terrain but the payoff is worth it, take the S shaped winding road in the
beginning, you can just cut across the grass and save a lot of time. A few
other things to keep in mind, after you pass through the little shed area with
the piled logs you'll soon be approaching a bridge, be sure to stay on the
path here since any shortcuts you try to take will likely lead to a dead drop.
This race isn't much different or longer than the previous one, the most
difficult part about it I find is the dirt flying up into the screen as you
zoom down the path. Complete the mission to get a deed for a San Fierro
garage. Now get out of your car and answer you cell phone.
