Narrative:
While practicing landings I had an event. It happened on my second landing right after touchdown. The aircraft veered to the right leaving the runway; traveling through the grass and coming to a stop on the taxiway. I was told by the tower to taxi to a nearby tie down area. After parking the aircraft I got out and inspected the aircraft for damage; found that the left main wheel pant; and right main wheel pant fairing were damaged.I was the only person onboard and was not injured. I contacted the flying club after securing the aircraft in the hangar. Tagged the aircraft grounded until the club's maintenance personnel inspected and returned it to service.
