Why do you name a map with an abbreviation you don't understand?
Anyway, you have to set up various locations around the map. Since you've made the triggers for all those other things you listed, this shouldn't be hard for you to understand. "Checkpoints" would be a good word. Let's say you have something like:
A B
D C
A is the start.
They go to point B, and increase a death counter to 1.
When they hit point C, they get another death count increase to 2, ONLY if they have 1 already.
When they hit point D, the counter goes to 3, ONLY if they have 2 already.
Then the players complete a lap back at point A if the player has 3 death counts, and the count goes back to zero.

ok. But one question. How do you make it end? When the death counter goes to zero? And if they die by a trap, i think the trigger is this:
FORCE
whoever
CONDITION
Whoever losses one unit
Whoever has 1 kill
TRIGGER
Create one unit for whoever at 'point B'
Preserve Trigger
I will make this trigger for every racer, so if they choose different ones.

I don't know exactly what you want in your last post...
I'm guessing you want to make a trigger to respawn anyone who dies whilst racing.
To detect a player's death, you can either use
"Current player has suffered at least 1 death of unit"
or "Current player commands at most/exactly 0 unit"
To respawn the player's unit, use "Create 1 unit for current player at 'spawn location'.
For some insight into how to count laps, take a look at the "Race of Death" map found in your Starcraft > Maps > Scenario folder.
That map uses your vespene gas to count which checkpoint you have last passed.

What do you know how to do?

If all else fails, look at the triggers and location places in the StarCraft Map 'Race of Death' in the 'Scenario' Folder of the main StarCraft Map section.

It would be hard to do the "lap" thing where every time they crossed the line they get a lap without a hell a lot of switches and stuff because knowing most people on starcraft they could just cross it and go back and forth across the location and get points for it...and since Mario Kart doesn't have checkpoints because there isn't a time limit in the race....but using the checkpoints makes the switch get set to enable them to get a lap.

Thats why most racing games use checkpoints.
