Judy & I autocrossed for 10 years in N CA, and we found the same thing. With a slightly modified engine, I had enough revs to use 1st but the torque made the car too jumpy; 2nd was better.
Autocross is also known as 'advanced drivers training' and it certainly made me a smoother driver. 'Cause if I got loose & hit a pylon, Judy would beat me! Then I heard about it until the next event.
