The aircraft made an intended full flap, full stop approach, touching down just past the numbers. As the aircraft slowed, the pilot began a turn toward the taxiway at midfield. He applied the brakes, but said he obtained no braking action. Seeing several other aircraft in front of him, the pilot veered off the side of the taxiway. As he was attempting to maneuver around obstructions, the aircraft's wing struck a taxiway sign. FAA inspectors reported they found S-shaped skid marks on the runway/taxiway at Juliet on the east side of runway 19L. The ATCT ground controller did not report any conflicts with taxiing aircraft. The CAP aircraft manager reported that the aircraft braking system was inspected after the accident and was found to function properly. The pilot had been involved in a previous incident in which he experienced a loss of directional control while landing.
Probable Cause: the pilot's decision to turn off the runway while at an excessive speed that did not allow him to maintain directional control of the aircraft.
