And modifying  your modifications makes it work even a little better:
#######################################
#!/usr/bin/python

import random
import time
import threading

class Timer(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, seconds):
               self.runTime = seconds
               threading.Thread.__init__(self)
    def run(self):
        global running
        time.sleep(self.runTime)
        print " "
        print "Buzzz!!! Time's up!"
        running = False

t = Timer(30)
t.start()
startNum = random.choice(range(1, 9))
newNum = startNum + 7
score = 0
running = True
print 'Start with the number ', startNum, '.  Then continuously add 7
to that number until the timer runs out.  You have 30 seconds.'

while running:
    if running == True:
         answer = int(raw_input('Enter your answer: '))
         if answer == newNum:
               print 'That is correct!  Keep going.'
               score = score + 5
               newNum = newNum + 7
               print 'Your score is ', score
         else:
               print 'That is incorrect.  Please try again.'
    else:
        answer = 0
print ' '
print 'Your total score was: ', score
