The accident occurred during the annual Experimental Aircraft Association's convention. The pilot stated that he was cleared to land at the approach end of the runway behind another landing airplane.

During the abort he veered to the left to avoid a collision with the other airplane and impacted runway lights off the left side of the runway.
