No it won't really help much - I found this out to my cost with boiling front brakes on my SV650 race bike. Tbh you shouldn't need to be using the rear on the track on the much although you might actually be dragging the rear slightly without knowing about it. It's probably worth bleeding the brake again to make sure there's no air in it.

If you're braking hard enough the rear wheel will be airborne anyway
