Narrative:

After being handed off by approach; I was cleared by tower to land following a C-130 performing a touch and go. After touching down; I began braking as the plane decelerated. Several seconds after touching down; the aircraft suddenly and forcefully veered off to the right on a heading off the runway towards the grassy median. I was able to continue taxing to the fire station and turned off my engine to inspect the aircraft. No damage was noted to the tires or wheel fairings or to the aircraft in general. In addition; no damage was noted to the runway environment. I started the engine and asked for taxi clearance to the FBO. A subsequent inspection by a mechanic found no damage at all to the aircraft; including to the tires or wheel fairings; and no mechanical issues with the brakes. I believe that this event was caused by wake turbulence. I was cleared to land with no warning about wake turbulence. The separation was less than 2 minutes. The C-130 did a touch and go on a short final.
