Okay for the Feb 15, 2009 autocross it looks like 39 degrees at game time, partly cloudy, pavement may be damp from rain the day before...may be not.

Not withstanding neither tire is adequately matched to my driving skills (the donut spare is but I only have one), do I run:
the street tires - Michelin Exalto A/S all season with 3/4 tread. 195/60/14
or
the recently acquired Yokohama A-008R hand-me-downs from a cluttered basement that have a little life left (they are at the wear bars). 205/55/14

Run the all seasons. it unlikely that you'll be able to get enough heat in the Yoko's for them to work.

Makes sense.
You bringing out the battle wagon? If not, come be a co-pilot to the Neon. If you can get it to settle down, we'll call you the Cesar Milan of Neons.
Me, I just take motion sickness pills, point it at a cone and let it attack.

nope, no battlewagon. I might be interesyed in a co drive. it depends on how I feel tomorrow. I'll let you know when i get there. Put 40psi in the tires all the way around and we'll ajust them down from there. thanks for the offer.
