The pilot stated that during the takeoff roll, the airplane's engine was 'developing full power,' the tail lifted off, and the airplane was about to become airborne, when the engine lost power. He stated, the speed was too fast for him to stop before running off the end of the runway and into a peanut field. The airplane nosed over, and a fire erupted. During the investigation, no reason was found for the loss of engine power; however, most of the engine was destroyed by ground fire. The pilot stated that the engine was running 'normally' on the previous flight.
Probable Cause: loss of engine power for undetermined reason(s), which resulted in an overrun, an encounter with soft terrain, and a nose over.
