The pilot became distracted and concerned about another aircraft that entered right traffic for runway 29 when the normal traffic pattern is left. The pilot extended his left downwind leg to allow the other aircraft to land and clear the runway. On turning final, the other aircraft was still on the runway and the accident pilot decided to land at the runway threshold rather than his normal point some distance down the runway. The pilot stated that he became too focused on the runway threshold and with concerns that he may land 2 to 4 feet short, he pulled back on the elevator to extend the glide. The aircraft hit the runway hard and bounced. After the second bounce, the pilot decided to go around. With application of full throttle, the aircraft departed the runway to the left. It traveled for some distance on the grass before the pilot over-corrected and crossed the runway entirely and departed to the right. Proceeding at full throttle on the grass, the pilot stated that he retracted the flaps and continued the attempt to takeoff. The aircraft staggered into the air in ground effect, stalled, and struck the ground in a nose-low, right wing-low attitude. It flipped inverted comimg to a rest upside down, whereupon it caught fire.
