I was thinking of this or a push mower hand throttle, until I saw Donkey CRX' hand throttle. My grandpa had used a hand throttle from an airplane for this and a cruise control in his 79 diesel Rabbit. It had friction built in, and you could pull it for fast or large throttle changes, or spin it for slow or small adjustments...something like this:
