PVT PLT OF AN SMA SEL LOST CTL OF ACFT DURING LNDG ROLL RESULTING IN DRIFTING OFF SIDE OF THE RWY AND HITTING A RWY EDGE LIGHT WITH THE ACFT PROP. THE ACFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE PROP ONLY.

Narrative

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL BLUE DAY NO CLOUDS IN THE SKY. WINDS WERE 270 DEGS AT 10 KTS VARIABLE. FLYING SOLO FOR PLEASURE I DID 2 LNDGS AT EAGLE CREEK; ONE AT SHERIDAN THEN FLEW TO 3SY TO LAND. THE SUN WAS BRIGHT AS I TURNED FINAL I REMEMBER THINKING IT WAS BLINDING; HOWEVER I WAS SET UP NICELY FOR THE APCH AND LANDED APPROX 50 FT FROM THE NUMBERS ON RWY 24. THE LNDG WAS IN CTL; BUT AS SOON AS I PUT MY FEET ON THE BRAKES THE PLANE BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE R EVEN AFTER TRYING TO CHANGE MY CORRECTION BY USING L RUDDER; THEN BACK ON THE BRAKES. I MUST HAVE LOCKED THE R BRAKE BECAUSE THERE WERE SKID MARKS FOR APPROX 200 FT BEFORE THE PLANE WENT OFF THE RWY R MAIN IN THE MUD; THEN NOSEWHEEL TO FOLLOW. THE GND WAS SATURATED AND THE NOSEWHEEL SUNK UP TO THE TOP OF THE APRON. THE PROP HIT RWY EDGE LIGHT. I SHUT DOWN AS I WENT OFF THE RWY BUT THE PROP WAS STILL TURNING AND IT CAUSED SOME CHIPS ON BOTH BLADES. IN RETROSPECT; I KNOW NOW I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF THE BRAKES INSTANTLY -- UNTIL THE PLANE WAS EASED BACK TOWARDS THE CTRLINE. ALSO I BELIEVE AND HAVE A WITNESS A CFI/A&P TO VERIFY THE WIND STOPPED THEN SWITCHED DIRECTIONS RIGHT AS I LANDED. BUT IT WAS STILL NOT SO STRONG THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE MADE OVER 580 LNDGS AND I HAVE NEVER EVEN CAME CLOSE TO GOING OFF THE RWY BUT I KNOW NOW IT'S VERY EASY IF YOU DON'T WATCH EVERYTHING CONSTANTLY BECAUSE THE WIND CHANGES -- BRAKES LOCK AND ON A DRY SURFACE IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN INCIDENT AT ALL BUT ONCE 1 WHEEL IS OFF THE OTHERS FOLLOW. IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS AND I'M GOING FLYING TODAY WITH AN INSTRUCTOR TO INCREASE MY SKILLS AND GET BACK A LITTLE CONFIDENCE AFTER AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE.
