The pilot said that when he raised the tail to lift off during the takeoff roll, the airplane veered to the right. 'I lost left rutter (sic). I went off runway and ran into a ditch.' Black skid marks from the left main tire were noted on the runway for the last 100 feet. Examination of the brakes revealed no discrepancies. There was no evidence power had been reduced when control was lost.
