Narrative:
Day VFR with a 4000' broken layer. I was working the touch and go traffic pattern at mcclellan airport and was advised by tower to follow a jet. I was concerned with wake turbulence, so I made my approach to T/D on the second half of the runway. I then decided to go around after thinking about the wake turbulence and advised tower. They said I was cleared for a touch and go. I reevaluated and determined I had sufficient runway to do this (the first link in the chain). After T/D, I added power for a split second and realized I would not be able to make a safe takeoff, so I went to maximum aerodynamic braking, followed by hard braking. The braking action of the aircraft was poor, in my opinion (it was a club aircraft). I tried to make the last taxiway, but felt I would FLIP the aircraft or blow a tire if I tried to make it (carrying excessive speed). I then settled for going straight ahead to avoid the REIL's. The aircraft's mixtures were secured as we settled in the muddy ground about 15' from the tarmac. Propellers were damaged by impacting mud.

Title: PLT OF SMA TWIN CHANGED HIS MIND REGARDING A TOUCH AND GO AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP ON RWY AFTER LNDG LONG WITH EXCESS SPEED. EXCURSIONED OFF END INTO SOFT GND. PROPELLER DAMAGE.
Narrative: DAY VFR WITH A 4000' BROKEN LAYER. I WAS WORKING THE TOUCH AND GO TFC PATTERN AT MCCLELLAN ARPT AND WAS ADVISED BY TWR TO FOLLOW A JET. I WAS CONCERNED WITH WAKE TURB, SO I MADE MY APCH TO T/D ON THE SECOND HALF OF THE RWY. I THEN DECIDED TO GO AROUND AFTER THINKING ABOUT THE WAKE TURB AND ADVISED TWR. THEY SAID I WAS CLRED FOR A TOUCH AND GO. I REEVALUATED AND DETERMINED I HAD SUFFICIENT RWY TO DO THIS (THE FIRST LINK IN THE CHAIN). AFTER T/D, I ADDED PWR FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND REALIZED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE A SAFE TKOF, SO I WENT TO MAX AERODYNAMIC BRAKING, FOLLOWED BY HARD BRAKING. THE BRAKING ACTION OF THE ACFT WAS POOR, IN MY OPINION (IT WAS A CLUB ACFT). I TRIED TO MAKE THE LAST TXWY, BUT FELT I WOULD FLIP THE ACFT OR BLOW A TIRE IF I TRIED TO MAKE IT (CARRYING EXCESSIVE SPD). I THEN SETTLED FOR GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD TO AVOID THE REIL'S. THE ACFT'S MIXTURES WERE SECURED AS WE SETTLED IN THE MUDDY GND ABOUT 15' FROM THE TARMAC. PROPS WERE DAMAGED BY IMPACTING MUD.
