Narrative:
Aircraft #1 had completed a touch-and-go landing on runway 25L; and was on the upwind leg when the pilot reported an aircraft in sight on the runway. At the time of this report; I was working local control south and my scan was at the approach end of runway 25L. I immediately redirected my scan to the departure end of runway 25L and observed aircraft #1 on the upwind leg and aircraft #2 taxiing at a high rate of speed in the non-paved area between runway 25L and taxiway C. Aircraft #2 continued taxiing and crossed taxiway C then stopping on the ramp. Aircraft #2; apparently unfamiliar; disoriented and talking to the local north controller; had landed opposite direction on runway 7R.
