Narrative:

On approach to sgj, AWOS showed 12-20 winds out of the north. Unicom reported local traffic using runway 2. Monitoring of CTAF confirmed numerous aircraft in pattern for runway 2. I entered on 45 degree leg for left downwind runway 2, #3 in the pattern. At this time a beech duke reported leaving the ramp taxiing to runway 31 I made calls on downwind, base, final, and short final. As I touched my wheels on runway 2, the duke reported departing runway 31 (this was the first call from the duke since he left the ramp). I thought of going around but was afraid of a midair. Instead, I braked as hard as possible and stopped just before the intersection and just as the duke went by on his takeoff roll. The saving factor was a strong headwind and having been aware of the duke's reported leaving of the ramp.

Narrative: ON APCH TO SGJ, AWOS SHOWED 12-20 WINDS OUT OF THE N. UNICOM RPTED LCL TFC USING RWY 2. MONITORING OF CTAF CONFIRMED NUMEROUS ACFT IN PATTERN FOR RWY 2. I ENTERED ON 45 DEG LEG FOR L DOWNWIND RWY 2, #3 IN THE PATTERN. AT THIS TIME A BEECH DUKE RPTED LEAVING THE RAMP TAXIING TO RWY 31 I MADE CALLS ON DOWNWIND, BASE, FINAL, AND SHORT FINAL. AS I TOUCHED MY WHEELS ON RWY 2, THE DUKE RPTED DEPARTING RWY 31 (THIS WAS THE FIRST CALL FROM THE DUKE SINCE HE LEFT THE RAMP). I THOUGHT OF GOING AROUND BUT WAS AFRAID OF A MIDAIR. INSTEAD, I BRAKED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND STOPPED JUST BEFORE THE INTXN AND JUST AS THE DUKE WENT BY ON HIS TKOF ROLL. THE SAVING FACTOR WAS A STRONG HEADWIND AND HAVING BEEN AWARE OF THE DUKE'S RPTED LEAVING OF THE RAMP.
