The pilot made two uneventful short-field landings and after touchdown on the third landing, while on the landing roll, the airplane began to veer to the right. The pilot added brake pressure to realign the airplane back to the center of the airstrip and away from the adjacent v-ditch. Despite the pilot’s efforts, the airplane slid into the v-ditch and nosed over coming to rest inverted. The wing strut and rudder were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
