The r wing raised and the acft went off the side of the rwy. The plt said he heard a loud bump as the l wing dragged the ground. The plt regained control and did a go around. He flew to Manassas and landed. As he tried to turn off the rwy the l gear collapsed. Examination of the acft revealed overload failure of the l main gear housing.
