The pilot was making touch and go landings on runway 17R (10,001 ft. x 100 ft., asphalt) in calm wind conditions. After the airplane touched down, he applied brakes and the airplane veered to the right side of the runway, 'either because of uneven brake application, or wind gust, or combination [of the two].' As the airplane departed the right side of the runway, the pilot applied power in an attempt to regain control. The airplane struck a runway light, severing the nose landing gear, then went down an embankment and came to a halt on uneven terrain.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing. Factors were the runway light and the terrain conditions.
