Daniel,
You might want to try a USB Pedal set used for driving games.

This is a CH Products Pro Pedals USB - Model 300-111. You get two pedals
and a USB interface. Then it's just a matter of software.

I like this idea a lot. It gives me lots of inputs (brake pedal, gas pedal,
steering wheel, and some wheels have other buttons too). No need to
construct something hoaky myself, though that would have been a good
learning experience.
Thanks everyone for all the ideas, this is what I'll be doing.
