Narrative:
After day 2; trial attempt of high speed taxi above 60 mph at taunton; ma; I overshot the end of runway 30. I caused minimal damage to the experimental bd-5B and damaged a REIL with the right wing. No one was hurt. Loss of brakes contributed to the overshoot. To correct this action; a paved strip of no less than 5000 ft should have been used.
