really bad stutter at 5k

i was taking off today from a toll booth on the highway today, first gear (im guessing i rode above 5k, but im sure becasue i was going by the sound of the motor), second gear at ~5k, little higher, i got a REALLY bad stutter, almost complete lose of power, the pedal was to the floor, im guessing maybe too much gas and bogged it down? ive never experienced this before and it kinda worried me. anyone know what this is? i did it later to check it out (taking it above 5k) and it was fine. but i only did it once because i was kinda scared to go about 4 after that.

might be gummed up secondaries.
my car had that problem, the secondarys were pretty well gummed up, although I'll never know if that was causing it.

my wires, plugs, rotor, and cap all have about ~100 miles on them.

ive taken it above 5k about 3 times today, and it seems fine.. my first thought was my motor was crapping out on me
