I would only hold the gear that long if you were trying to avoid having to shift at all, but in 1/4 mile it doesn't matter you should be hitting fourth by the end anyway.

The trap speed is troubling so that needs to be addressed, but I'd experiment with the shift points you might pick up a tenth or two that way.
I think I was shifting way too late ~7k...seems to fall on its face after 6k. Point taken.
