Notes: Rupert was at Deer Park (Spokane) on June 19. He drove the "Eagle Electric" fueler to an 8.14/195.64 in qualifying. In the first round, his 8.07/197.36 defeated Bill Leavitt's 8.22/189. He then ran 8.10/196.92 to win. Frank crashed and destroyed the car at Woodburn, Oregon, in July 1965 after an engine explosion at speed. A new car (Eagle Automotive) debuted in August 1965. Rupert qualified at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals with a 7.89. In the opening round, he lost to Fred Farndon. Photo: Rodder's Journal, no. 59 (Spring 2013): p. 34 - MB

Notes: Rupert started his season at Lions on January 7 for an eight-car show. He qualified for the field, but he lost to eventual winner Dave Beebe in the opening round. He was back at Lions later in the month for another eight-car show where he lasted until the semifinal before losing to James Warren. He was the first alternate at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, running a best of 7.512/213.76 (his only NHRA national event of the year). He was one of 70 Top Fuel drivers that attempted to qualify for Bakersfield's 32-car show in February. His 7.33 qualified #17. Unfortunately, he fouled against Bill Alexander in the opening round. Frank ran a first-round 7.50/214.78 on August 20 at Kent, Washington, losing to Dan Higgins's slower 7.56/198.22. Later became the Black Plague.

Notes: Ran 7.08 at Bakersfield March Meet 3/69. | Frank attempted to qualify at Lions for an eight-car show on March 8, but his best of 7.33 failed to make the field. He was back at Lions on April 12 where he qualified #8 in the eight-car field with a 6.89/225. Rupert lost to Billy Tidwell in the first round, but he came back out later when Lions had the first-round losers face each other. Frank raced Bob Downey in Leland Kolb's car and the two had a close race with the "Black Plague" winning with a 6.92/221.66 over Bob's 6.93/215. A week later (April 19), they were back at Lions for another eight-car race. Frank ran a great 6.78 to qualify #4, but he hurt some parts doing it and was unable to run eliminations.

Notes: Frank was at Irwindale on August 1 for the Gold Cup Championships. He advanced past the first-round when Larry Fullerton's Maverick lost fire on the line. In the second round, his Corvette got out of shape and he crossed the centerline, giving Arnie Behling the win. He was back at Irwindale on September 12 for an eight-car show. A 7.97/153.58 beat Johnny Wright's 8.15/183 in the "Fiberglass Trends" Javelin. But in the semifinals, he lost to eventual winner Mike Snively in Jim Annin's Challenger.

In round three, a 6.97/213.27 lost to John Lombardo's 6.84/192. He was back at OCIR a little later in May for the Hang Ten Funny Car race.

Notes: Bad year. The blower exploded and left the car at Indy, killing a person standing next to the track. | The individual killed was cameraman Joe Rooks, who was filming the race for the broadcaster from an exposed position alongside the track. Because he was following the action, Rooks never saw the blower coming and was struck squarely in the back, killing him. Very unfortunate week at Indy, as Ernie Rife, a motorcycle racer, was also killed. - JM | Rupert lost a leg in an accident. First alternate DNQ with a 6.02 at Indy US Nationals 9/79 (no speed provided).
