more flexibility to take steps to
put Thunder Road back on a
profitable course.
The monthly foreclosure
sale actually started at 10 a.m.
as a small crowd of interested
people began to assemble on
the courthouse steps. Lawyers
for the bank did not arrive until
2 p.m., when they read the for
mal notice and then made the
^Jord^uld not comment
on any additional terms that
might be associated with the
sale_ During weeks there
recent
had been speculation that the
sa l e would not go forward.
The wording of the notice to
sell included a listing of items
that were not actually property
of Thunder Road,
These items made it into
the foreclosure letter even
though several inventories had
previously been made of the
property at the facility.
Tom French, former gener
a * manager of the facility, said
* n early June that very detailed
inventories had been made at
Thunder Road and that it was
clear what items were owned
by the operation versus certain
cars ar, d personal memorabilia
that were on display at the
museum. French said that items
owned by families and other
parties was listed separately and
should not be considered as the
actual property of Thunder
Road. Still controversy and
speculation lead some to believe
the sale would not go forward or
that the sale would result in the
loss of family items on loan to
the museum.
Jordan stated in his call for
offers only the land description
and the facility. There was no
mention of personal property
being included.
“I am not aware of Phoenix
One, other than what we all
heard here a few minutes ago,"
Jordan said. “I am sure they
have everything in order so I
expect the transaction will go
forward."

Halcomb said she selected
