Glen ran a Tourist Trophy Race about a South American (7,7) . .

I came up with SCARLET TANAGER, but can't justify apart from the letter count . . and the fact that if you look hard enough you can see "t,a,n,a,g,e,r"

Any ideas?

Tourist Trophy races are usually abbreviated to TT races.

Hannah, how about....
"Scarlet tanager" is an anagram of " glen ran a TT race" plus "S" for South.
Any good?

These guys are not very concerned about parsing . .

That's what makes them so difficult
