Momentum styleRacing Game

I am beginning to develop a flash game that is esentially a multiple choice quiz in combination with some game elements. I would like the game to be based around the concept of you in a drag race. The factors determining your position in the race would be your reaction time to answering the question, the faster you answer correctly the more time you gain. If the answer is failed the user will lose time, and if the answer is skipped the player will neither lose or gain time; however their opponents will. Also, I am new to the forum but I look forward to contributing to actionscript with others and any advice and or tips would be appreciated.:beer:
