Narrative:
While approaching sdf from the north on an IFR flight plan, I was cleared to land on runway 19 and hold short of runway 29. While attempting to land on runway 19 I was only using one notch of flaps or 15 degrees due to a crosswind from approximately 270 degrees. I was also inadvertently watching the VASI in my peripheral vision on short final while flaring. Because of the crosswind I held the aircraft off the runway longer than I would have liked to. After setting the aircraft on the ground and starting to brake, I noticed an heavy transport landing and rolling out on runway 29. At this time I felt that our present rate of closure would bring us together at the intersection of the 2 runways at the same time and I needed to make a decision whether to go around or to try to stop before the intersection. I initially decided to go around, but then aborted that idea on the grounds that it would be better to stop the aircraft or run it off the runway behind the heavy transport rather than attempt to go around and possibly not make it and collide with the heavy transport and destroy both aircraft. I finally did get the aircraft stopped about 150' short of runway 29, but in the process blew out the 2 main tires on the aircraft. There was no further damage. I feel this possibly could have been prevented by staggering the aircraft on approach to prevent the aircraft from converging at the intersection and also in the future I will not accept a runway where I have to hold short of an intersection in an attempt to ease the traffic flow for ATC.

Title: TOLD TO HOLD SHORT OF A CROSSING RWY, PLT LANDED LONG AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH TRAFFIC LNDG ON THE CROSSING RWY.
Narrative: WHILE APCHING SDF FROM THE N ON AN IFR FLT PLAN, I WAS CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 19 AND HOLD SHORT OF RWY 29. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND ON RWY 19 I WAS ONLY USING ONE NOTCH OF FLAPS OR 15 DEGS DUE TO A XWIND FROM APPROX 270 DEGS. I WAS ALSO INADVERTENTLY WATCHING THE VASI IN MY PERIPHERAL VISION ON SHORT FINAL WHILE FLARING. BECAUSE OF THE XWIND I HELD THE ACFT OFF THE RWY LONGER THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO. AFTER SETTING THE ACFT ON THE GND AND STARTING TO BRAKE, I NOTICED AN HVT LNDG AND ROLLING OUT ON RWY 29. AT THIS TIME I FELT THAT OUR PRESENT RATE OF CLOSURE WOULD BRING US TOGETHER AT THE INTXN OF THE 2 RWYS AT THE SAME TIME AND I NEEDED TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER TO GO AROUND OR TO TRY TO STOP BEFORE THE INTXN. I INITIALLY DECIDED TO GO AROUND, BUT THEN ABORTED THAT IDEA ON THE GROUNDS THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO STOP THE ACFT OR RUN IT OFF THE RWY BEHIND THE HVT RATHER THAN ATTEMPT TO GO AROUND AND POSSIBLY NOT MAKE IT AND COLLIDE WITH THE HVT AND DESTROY BOTH ACFT. I FINALLY DID GET THE ACFT STOPPED ABOUT 150' SHORT OF RWY 29, BUT IN THE PROCESS BLEW OUT THE 2 MAIN TIRES ON THE ACFT. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THIS POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY STAGGERING THE ACFT ON APCH TO PREVENT THE ACFT FROM CONVERGING AT THE INTXN AND ALSO IN THE FUTURE I WILL NOT ACCEPT A RWY WHERE I HAVE TO HOLD SHORT OF AN INTXN IN AN ATTEMPT TO EASE THE TFC FLOW FOR ATC.
