Narrative:

Taxied to runup area, called ground due to beautiful WX cancelled IFR. Advised tower, ready for takeoff. After one aircraft took off before me. 2ND call I heard was taxi into position and hold as previous aircraft was taking off. I taxied on runway 3 stopped and waited for tower to give me go ahead, next think I heard was make a right turn and get off runway which I immediately did. Right after that another aircraft landed on runway 3. Scottsdale was extremely busy and unless ATC gives pilots a chance to call back with their clearance I do not foresee improvement in safety within the continental USA getting any better. Lets work as a team between pilot and tower and think of safety.
