Narrative:
I was flying an small aircraft sel X on a short final to runway 18. An small aircraft sel was #2 behind me. He asked for a full stop landing. I had already been cleared for a touch-and-go. About the time I was in my flair, the tower cleared 2 fgt falcons to takeoff on runway 23. After I was down and cleaned up the airplane, I saw 1 fgt pass well in front of me, so I added power. In approximately 5 seconds after power application, I rotated and started to climb at vy. I then saw a second fgt Y rolling toward runway 18 on runway 23 so I immediately initiated a climb at vx. The fgt Y aborted his takeoff roll as I passed over runway 23 at approximately 75 ft AGL. At the time I crossed runway 23, the fgt Y has already aborted his takeoff and was approximately 50 ft from the runway 23/runway 18 intersection. The small aircraft sel that was behind me was told to go around. The controller must have forgotten that I was touch and go. I continued to takeoff because I knew I would be airborne and above any jet blast or wake turbulence of the fgt that departed in front of me. I was totally unaware that there was a second fgt Y until I saw him when I was airborne. If I had known that he was there, I would have made my landing a full stop. This area is highly congested with student training aircraft and this day was no exception. The controllers were landing and taking off fgt traffic on runway 23 and training aircraft were landing and taking off on 18. I feel I made a valid decision to proceed with my takeoff.

Title: NMAC AT A RWY INTXN BTWN 2 ACFT TAKING OFF.
Narrative: I WAS FLYING AN SMA SEL X ON A SHORT FINAL TO RWY 18. AN SMA SEL WAS #2 BEHIND ME. HE ASKED FOR A FULL STOP LNDG. I HAD ALREADY BEEN CLRED FOR A TOUCH-AND-GO. ABOUT THE TIME I WAS IN MY FLAIR, THE TWR CLRED 2 FGT FALCONS TO TKOF ON RWY 23. AFTER I WAS DOWN AND CLEANED UP THE AIRPLANE, I SAW 1 FGT PASS WELL IN FRONT OF ME, SO I ADDED PWR. IN APPROX 5 SECONDS AFTER PWR APPLICATION, I ROTATED AND STARTED TO CLB AT VY. I THEN SAW A SECOND FGT Y ROLLING TOWARD RWY 18 ON RWY 23 SO I IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A CLB AT VX. THE FGT Y ABORTED HIS TKOF ROLL AS I PASSED OVER RWY 23 AT APPROX 75 FT AGL. AT THE TIME I CROSSED RWY 23, THE FGT Y HAS ALREADY ABORTED HIS TKOF AND WAS APPROX 50 FT FROM THE RWY 23/RWY 18 INTXN. THE SMA SEL THAT WAS BEHIND ME WAS TOLD TO GAR. THE CTLR MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT I WAS TOUCH AND GO. I CONTINUED TO TKOF BECAUSE I KNEW I WOULD BE AIRBORNE AND ABOVE ANY JET BLAST OR WAKE TURB OF THE FGT THAT DEPARTED IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS A SECOND FGT Y UNTIL I SAW HIM WHEN I WAS AIRBORNE. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT HE WAS THERE, I WOULD HAVE MADE MY LNDG A FULL STOP. THIS AREA IS HIGHLY CONGESTED WITH STUDENT TRAINING ACFT AND THIS DAY WAS NO EXCEPTION. THE CTLRS WERE LNDG AND TAKING OFF FGT TFC ON RWY 23 AND TRAINING ACFT WERE LNDG AND TAKING OFF ON 18. I FEEL I MADE A VALID DECISION TO PROCEED WITH MY TKOF.
