“That Sucho boy is racing downtown today. If only you were more like him! He treats his mother with real respect. Of course, if your father was here, he'd win the race, and take the smug grin off that Sucho boy's face!”
The mission begins again with Toni dropping by his mother's restaurant looking to impress her in order to win her respect. Toni learns of one Dan Sucho whom Ma admires for his street racing ability and respect towards his own mother, adding Toni's father would had beaten Sucho in a race and kill him. Sucho is revealed to be waiting to race in front of Portland Harbor.
Once the player completes the race in first place, a cut-scene plays with Sucho driving up next to Toni, and then driving off. Toni gives chase, killing Sucho.
The monetary reward for completing the mission is $1,000 and the mission Dead Meat is unlocked. The Thunder-Rodd, a car driven by Sucho, will also spawn at the old school hall parking lot in Chinatown, though Sucho's can also be obtained at the end of the mission if it hasn't been destroyed.
Completing this mission also unlocks the car races, which will be offered occasionally.
Look at you, you look so thin! If you were still living here with your mother, like a son should, you'd be eating right. And look at those cars you drive, you shame me Antonio, really you do. People will think I brought you up wrong.
Toni:
Well, what can I do, Ma? You know I'd do anything for you!
Ma (Voice only):
That Sucho boy is racing downtown today. If only you were more like him! He treats his mother with real respect. Of course, if your father was here, he'd win the race, and take the smug grin off that Sucho boy's face! Yeah, he'd make him eat lead! Ah, your father was a real man, big balls!
Toni finds a car and heads to Portland Harbor, where the race begins. After driving one lap across Portland, he wins the race. Toni then spots Sucho in his Thunder-Rodd, who drives away. Toni catches up to Sucho and wrecks his car, killing him.
His mother starts judging his physique, saying he's too thin and that he would've been eating right if he were still living with his mother, foreshadowing Toni's appearance in Grand Theft Auto III.
She also judges him about the cars he drives.
Toni asks what he could do to win her respect.
Toni learns of some guy named Sucho whom Ma admires for his street racing ability...
...and respect towards his own mother.
Toni's mother claims that if Toni's father was alive, he would win the race...
...and "take the smug grin off that Sucho boy's face".

Trivia[]
This mission is a homage to the 1978 film Grease, where the main character, played by John Travolta, is named Danny Zuko and owns a hot-rod vehicle named Greased Lightning. Dan Sucho and his Thunder-Rodd are obvious references to the film. Also, there is a car race involved in the film.
