The aircraft owner/pilot stated that he "landed a little long and a little fast (75-80 mph)." During his rollout he knew he was going to need the overrun area of runway 10. The pilot stated, "due to the wet conditions his braking was not very good." He stated "there was not any standing water on the runway." He stated that "the left brake started to grab and then the right brake started to grab, and finally both began to slow the aircraft." Unable to stop in time, the aircraft crashed through the cedar rail fence at the end of runway 10, causing substantial damage to the aircraft. Damage consisted of a smashed propeller spinner, severely dented left nose engine cowl, severely dented left wing leading edge 8-12 inches, a severely bent left aileron inboard side 12 inches, left flap severely bent 12 inches, left horizontal stabilizer leading edge severely dented 3 feet, and right rear fuselage severely caved in. The aircraft will probably be a total loss by the insurance company.
