AGREED! That was my first motorgen event and it has been my favorite so run so far. Wide lanes, super fast speeds, and great visibility FTW.

Generally I'd agree, especially overall environment/scenery is more spectacular, but there are some technical sections on GMR that aren't matched by anything on ACH, so if you're really after that sort of thing you might prefer GMR.

Like running into oncoming motorcycles, cyclists, and unsuspecting cars.

Yeah, you're just not gonna get that on ACH. 
Actually there are way more motorcycle accidents on ACH. In a way it's more dangerous because there are plenty of long stretches on ACH where you can really pick up some dangerous speed . . I know.  GMR, very few.

Also, Highway 39 just reopened. A couple more years and a couple more tens of millions and we can have the angeles loop back!

I have to disagree. I live 5min from GMR so maybe Im used to that road but there are tighter turns and blind corners at ACH. It might be a bit straighter in some areas so you can carry more speed but once you start headed about 10-15 miles from Newcomb Ranch it gets pretty crazy. Good thing is the corners seemed more banked so it helps a lot to maintain grip throughout them.
