The aircraft was substantially damaged during landing rollout while attempting to return to the runway surface after initially touching down in the grass area adjacent to the runway. The accident occurred during the Experimental Aircraft Association Air Venture Convention. Special flight procedures were in effect at the time. The procedure provides two alternate landing points on the runway, in addition to the runway threshold. The first point was approximately one-quarter of the way down the runway, and the second was about one-half of the way down the runway. The pilot stated while on base leg an aircraft crossed his assigned landing point which was approximately halfway down the runway. To provide additional spacing, he reportedly "extended" the base leg. However, the aircraft "got too low for the tight turn" to final and he landed on the grass adjacent to the runway. The pilot stated he landed normally in the grass and then attempted to steer back onto the runway surface. During the process the aircraft hit a runway light, skidded across the pavement and impacted an airport sign. The aircraft came to rest in the grass on the opposite side of the runway. The pilot noted that he was unsure of the go-around procedure due to the density of traffic in the pattern at the time. No malfunctions with the aircraft or engine were reported by the pilot.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate in-flight planning/decision and his failure to execute a go-around. Contributing factors were the pilot's failure to attain alignment with the runway centerline, the runway light and the airport sign.
