autoX - first gear

So I just had my first autoX event this weekend and I think I did decent considering my skill level. However, once I got out of the gate and was in second, I stayed there the entire time and I feel like if I could have kept my revs above 5000 rpm in a few places, I could have easily shaved a few seconds off my time.

Does anyone actually use first gear while tracking for anything other than accelerating out of the gate? The dip in the torque band is killer. I dont know if I should be using first more or if it is frowned upon.
