Narrative:

On may/sat/03, I made a standard approach on runway 090 at palm beach county park. Winds were light and out of the ese. The 3 point landing was straight, with no drift. Upon touchdown, it is unclr whether the left tire blew out first or the airplane veered sharply to the right. The airplane lost all directional control and proceeded off the runway. The left strut impacted into the soft ground and the airplane nosed down. There were no injuries.
