is one of the players that showup early the face? And has the team gotten where they trust each other?

Nah, the face and sniper are the last ones to show. And they're only had one run together, although the face and the mage worked their backstories to that they know each other (the mage doesn't even own a commlink, so the face handles all his communications and transactions for him).

I LOVE these ideas, BTW. Especially the street racing (though I also like the thought of building up families, though I doubt any of my players's characters have kids or wives). I'll go with the street racing for the first hour. When the mage shows up, I need something for them to do together. I may use Gerafin's suggestion and have the rigger kidnapped at the end of the race by the Fronts gang (which they ran into our previous, and thus far only, session). I ran SRM02-01 Parliament of Thieves last time, and they got one faction with the Fronts for killing 1, but still getting run off the road. This might be a way for the Fronts to test them again, now that they're a bit familiar, and also offer some "friendly payback" during the race.

I like the idea of families, but my group has never focused much on that (not now, and not in our decade of D&D 3.5 playing). But I might try to pull that in a bit too, just to test the waters. I like the thought of an ongoing gag where one of the characters has an annoying mom who always calls during run-planning.

Going back to Wylie, I originally thought of doing the meet and having the other two catch up, but I'm sticking with the missions for now since we're all new to the game. So I'm running SRM02-02 Best Served Cold, and the scene of the kidnapping is at the meet, so I need them all there. Especially the face, since he has the highest perception and, without him, I think they'd miss some of the clues they might need. It'd put them at an unfair disadvantage.

So yeah, I'll mix and match the suggestions to fit (contact needs a favor because a racer dropped out and they need a new one...fast! Race ends, rigger gets kidnapped, mage helps rigger escape just in time for the mission to start).

You all are awesome!
