Autocross with performance tires in cold weather

I was planning to go to an autocross tomorrow, on a track, and weather report says it's going to between 30-40 degrees F throughout the day. I'm still running summer tires, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, in an 18x9.5 setup. To be clear, I'm switching to winter tires next week, but right now the Firehawks are all I have.

So my question, should I definitely absolutely not be doing an autocross with these tires in this weather?

It'll just be a very fun, drifty autocross. Nothing catastrophic will happen
