Circumstances:
The aircraft crashed off the end of runway 23 during an attempted go-around after touchdown. The pilot stated that after the aircraft touched down approximately 300 feet down the 2,760 foot runway he raised the flaps along with the nose of the aircraft to slow down. Brakes were applied and the left main gear skidded 2/3 the way down the runway at which time full power was applied to go-around. The aircraft mushed off the end of the runway where it contacted a rock pile and was destroyed by impact and post crash fire. The pilot reported winds from 270° at 10 knots when the accident occurred.
