This volume is a revised edition of a best-selling book which originally appeared in 1973. The revised book now includes the 610, 710, 200SX, 260Z, and 280ZX models. This was easily done because most of the hardware interchanges - a tribute to Datsun's product planning. Racing Datsuns or anything else is even more expensive now than when the original book was published and knowledge is still the most elusive, most important factor needed to field a competitive effort.

After a devastating car accident that killed his wife, Yvonne, and left author Bill Fisher severely wounded, he realized that this time, his life had just been spared from death for the ninth time. In When God Stepped In, Fisher shares how his life has been punctuated with a series of miraculous acts of the Lord. In this memoir, he narrates a series of encounters that have confirmed his faith in the power of God including healings, rescues, protection, shield, and provision. Fisher tells how God has allowed him to get into many unexpected, dangerous situations throughout his life and then has rescued him in often spectacular ways. Praise for When God Stepped In "It would seem almost impossible for all of these incidents to have taken place in the life of one man. However, I have known the author for many years, and they did!" -John Barkman, Pastor, Missionary, Christian Missionary Alliance "A must-read, especially if you have any doubt that God heals today. The personal stories Bill tells of God's involvement in his life-healing, rescuing, restoring-clearly demonstrate that God cares about every part of your life. Bill is very honest about his own life and failings, which is refreshing." -Mike Evans, Founder, Director, Wholeness Ministries "This book adds strength to my personal journey through life ... It will do the same for you." -Dr. Noble W. Scroggins, Former Director Christian Counseling, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Based on Bill Fisher’s three-day seminars that regularly sell out all over the world, this book offers the kind of capital-raising street smarts no entrepreneur can do without. As a banker in Silicon Valley in the ‘80s and a businessman who founded a number of successful companies beginning in the ‘90s, Fisher has seen firsthand the kind of rookie mistakes aspiring entrepreneurs make that end up stopping them before they have a chance to get started. Fisher looks at six traditional steps in the capital-raising process and digs beneath the surface to expose subtle but critical aspects of each—knowledge that, until now, could come only with experience. For example, entrepreneurs believe that great business ideas get funded. Not true—just look at the failure rates of venture-backed companies. Great business stories get funded, and all great business stories have a similar construction and shape. And of course the entrepreneur needs an investor, but each investor comes with his or her own personality issues. You need the right match for long-term success, not just whoever is waving the biggest check—a temptation that is easy for cash-strapped entrepreneurs to succumb to. Having this book is like going into your investor meetings with a trusted advisor who knows all the ins and outs of raising capital.
