Narrative:
I was doing pattern work and on my fifth landing; which was a full stop and go. I set up the aircraft for a soft field take off. I set up 10 of flaps; trim take off; over all instruments in good standards; then I applied full power. As soon as I did that; the aircraft start drifting a little bit to the left which I corrected with right rudder as usual; but the drift to the left got intensified. What I did next was to abort the take off by pulling the power to idle; but the aircraft continued out of control to the left. I applied the brakes; opposite rudder but the aircraft went off the runway. Right off the runway; it hit a runway sign with the left strut and made full stop about 200 feet after the strut hit the sign.when the aircraft made full stop immediately; I shut off the fuel and pulled the mixture out; turned the master off. Before that; I made a quick call to tower to let them know I was uninjured. I exited the aircraft and waited for the authorities to come to the site. Weather condition was not a factor; winds were calm.
