What is a Crenshaw Factor and why do I need one?
The Crenshaw Factor has been used for many years in southern California T-hunts to normalize mileages and account for odometer differences between various vehicles. Your vehicle’s Crenshaw Factor is the odometer mileage you get when you drive a standardized course that runs along Crenshaw Boulevard for about 9 miles. The course was chosen because it is relatively straight and goes up to the start point of the All-day hunts. This makes it easy for hunters to check their factors regularly on the way to a hunt. A big problem right now is that the landmarks at the start of the Crenshaw have changed. The official start point is in front of a now-gone telephone booth in front of a now-gone Winchell’s Doughnut shop on the southwest corner of Artesia Boulevard and Crenshaw. If you can find this point, then all you do is record your odo reading and drive in the left-hand lane along Crenshaw to the stop sign at Crest Road in Rancho Palos Verdes. Your elapsed mileage to that point is your Crensha
