The best way to gauge how you would do is to do group rides with racers. If you are doing hard, competitive race-like group rides with guys who are Cat 3s and Cat 4s, you're going to be fine. And will probably do well. Because many of your competitors won't be fit enough to do those kind of group rides.
If you don't know where your local crits are, it makes me think you probably don't know any or many local racers. Perhaps you are not on strava either? If you follow some of the local fast guys on strava that race, you will see where the races are.
I know ZERO racers, and have started messing around with strava a bit in the last year or so. Was actually thinking about going on a group ride this sunday.
