In a town in Ohio I used to live in, the answer was 50. There is a law on the books that says its a misdemeanor to lap over 50 times in a day.
Edit: I was slightly wrong - its 100 times in a single session. Source: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/ohio/crazy-laws-part-2-oh/
Some of those laws are no longer on the books, so I wonder about that one. Like, what does "around the town square" actually mean? There's not a straightforward "town square" in Oxford. And while the article asks "What exactly happened to make Oxford so protective of its town square?", you and I both know the answer is "drunk college students". Also funny that they don't actually show the public sidewalk, but instead the little square between Elliot and Stoddard for the sidewalk law.
Edit: a quick search through the municipal traffic codes doesn't reveal anything, so I'm guessing this is one of Miami's many rumors that happened to get picked up by a less-than-thourough website. Or potentially it used to exist but no longer does. Or maybe I missed it, but I'm willing to bet that's not the case.
I think the law was from the late 60s-mid 70s when driving muscle cars around was a popular past time for young men. My guess is it's a problem that kinda just went away when other types of entertainment became more popular.
