(-23) The pilot attempted a downhill south takeoff on the 2200 feet north/south private runway of the Beaumont Hotel, Beaumont, KS. Runway conditions at the time of the attempted takeoff was 2 to 3 inches of wet grass and moist but mostly firm ground. Pilot statements and physical evidence indicate that during the takeoff run the aircraft encountered a softer runway surface after approximately 70%-75% of the runway length (approx 600 feet remaining). The aircraft began to veer left slightly as the left main wheel began creating a 1 inch rut. The rutting of the left main wheel continued for approximately 500 feet. The aircraft failed to attain flying speed by the end of the runway continuing through 150 feet of unmowed grass in the over run (8 to 10 inches high), then encountered some bushes and a 6 to 8 inch diameter tree, separating the left wing from the fuselage. The aircraft continued an additional 150 feet and came to rest on the north face of an abandoned railroad bed embankment. The aircraft suffered substantial damage to the fuselage, empennage, wings, and propeller. There was no post accident fire AD the occupants suffered no injuries.
