As far as timing...teams on the Miami flight should be arr Santiago any time now, if teams slipped past us in Dallas (which I doubt) they should be on the ground now.
They then have to take a bus to Valparaiso, which is I think is about 80km (??) away...so allow maybe a couple of hours++ to get thru customs, catch a bus, drive there ?? Of course we don't know if this is a pull a tag and wait kind of bus either.

Someone mentioned the World Clock site for world time conversions last night, and I've had it as a bookmark since about 2001:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
Santiago is currently 2 hours ahead of the eastern stand time in the US and Canada. They are currently om Daylight Savings Time in Chile, which accounts for one hour of the difference right there. For the Racers, though the change is five hours ahead of Los Angeles, or the same difference between the eastern time zone and Greenwhich time or UTC.
That site lists a number of major world cities, but it is possible to check intermediate locations as well.
A second source is our old weather history standby, Weather Underground (http://www.wunderground.com/). It will tell you the current time for any airport location, and any location that is covered by a weather forecast from a country's weather service. It also has astronomical information about sunrise/sunset times, etc.
Valparaiso weather information is based on the Santiago airport, and its sunny with scattered clouds today with a forecast high of 75F and a low of 53F tonight. Sunset is at 8"30 pm local time, so there should be plenty of time for a task or two before sunset tonight.
