The airplane was substantially damaged during a ground loop while landing on runway 09. The pilot reported he had been practicing touch and go landings and that the accident occurred on the 11th landing of the flight. He reported the airplane touched down and was rolling out on the centerline when it suddenly veered to the right. He reported he was unable to straighten out the heading and the airplane traveled off the side of the runway into the grass. The local winds were from 090 degrees at 4 knots. Inspection of the airplane revealed the weld which attached the left main landing gear strut to the airframe had failed.
