There are lots of ways to get in laps -- practice days, morning practice, Championship races, running a division with multiple classes. In the actual event, you are only guaranteed one lap. After that it's up to you to get more laps. You must win in order to advance and race more. It depends how many drivers are registered in a class as to how many laps each event will run.

Swimming pools, hot tubs, and natural bodies of water should be avoided for at least 2-3 weeks to allow the piercing to heal.
