CESSNA 182P
THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE GRASS & RIDGES ON THE STRIP HELD THE ACFT'S SPEED DOWN MORE THAN EXPECTED DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, SO THE PLT DECIDED TO ABORT. THE PLT LATER STATED THAT HE COULD HAVE MADE IT SAFELY, BUT HIS 'INSTINCT' WAS STRONGER SO HE DECIDED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF. THE ACFT ROLLED OFF THE END OF THE RWY INTO A BRIER PATCH. THE GRASS ON THE STRIP WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES HIGH & THERE WERE SMALL RIDGES DOWN THE CENTER OF THE STRIP.
