The airplane sustained substantial damage on impact with a fence post and terrain while landing. The pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. The pilot said, "We turned final and picked my spot for touch down, I.A.S. was 80 m.p.h., final was looking good-lined up on strip good just ahead of runway the airplane just sunk. We had passed over a gravel road about 20' ahead of the strip, but don't really know if that is what effected the plane. We hit the tallest gate post, which is approx. 10 feet from end of runway. The airplane hit the ground and did a 180[degree] turn." The pilot stated that there was no mechanical malfunction. The pilot listed substantial damage to both wings, fuselage, main gear, nose gear, nose bowl, and propeller.
Probable Cause: the pilot not maintaining clearance from the fence post and not attaining the proper touchdown point. A factor was the fence post.
