Narrative:

After satisfactory landing and touchdown, aircraft veered to left sharply. Pilot applied full right rudder, but could not control direction of rollout. Aircraft rolled off runway into grassy field with some damage. No crew members were hurt (pilot and 1 passenger). Only 2 total aircraft. No other damage occurred except to aircraft, cause of incident unknown. No damage to runway, lights, or surroundings. Wind conditions were less than 10 KTS and about 20 degrees from direction of landing (ie, landed 210 degrees, wind 230 degrees).
