Welcome to SlotRacer 
The T-Jets are still hugely popular - and the TycoPros have a very loyal following too. I like both, but find they need a bit of run-off to enjoy them to their best. On my home track, I have added cork borders to the AFX pieces I've used...
An alternative is to build a 4-laner and just race on the middle two lanes. Or get yourself a routed track made! The older non-mag cars really do benefit from a super-smooth routed surface and there are some good value options from MaxTrax and Viper.
In terms of layout designs, there are ideas out there...
The AFX Museum has scans of many set layout plans from the 70s onward: https://afxslotcarmuseum.wixsite.com/afx...et-layouts
There's also Greg Braun's amazing HO Slot Car Racing, which has been archived after his death here: https://web.archive.org/web/202001080222...acing.com/
