Yes change gear into 5th down the straight their is nothing wrong with a short shift if it sets up the next corner and makes it easier for you. After all we are all hobbyists not professional drivers. When I was at QR earlier this year I tried 2nd through to 4th with 4th bouncing on the limiter. Helpfully next year with the new motor and a little more power could be the same might even have to grab 5th down the straight and do a down shift into 1. What I am trying to point out is sometimes its better doing what works for you.
