Fisher raced a variety of machinery including a Lotus 18 and Porsche 906 and 910 sports cars, but was something of mystery when he entered the 1967 Canadian Grand Prix with the ex-Jim Clark Lotus 33 which had been bought that summer by Earl Chiles. In fact this car was the famous 'R11' with which the great Scotsman had utterly dominated the 1965 World Championship. The car was fitted with a 2-litre BRM unit for Fisher, who performed quite respectably both in Canada and in practice for the Mexican GP, where he was unfortunate not to start when a diaphragm 'worth five cents' on his fuel metering unit ruptured.
His racing career was then interrupted by the Vietnam war as Mike entered pilot training in 1968 and flew fighters (including the F-102, F-101, F-4 and F-15) until he was assigned to the Pentagon in 1994.
In 1997 Fisher briefly held the role of CART's executive vice-president of racing, but after only three races of the season quit his role by mutual consent.
