Narrative:The pilot was holding short of the active runway. When cleared for takeoff, the pilot applied full power from his hold short position without making a right turn onto the runway.

It then landed in a parking area and continued on until coming to rest after contacting a fence on the south side of the airport.
Probable Cause: the pilot's disorientation that led him to believe he was on the active runway. A factor was the pilot's inattentiveness.
