At the speeds they're starting from, the jump won't matter as much as the top speed I imagine. I'd think that if you get into a breakaway you probably could do alright. E.g. this video from San Dimas Stage Race crit where a 115lb rider wins from a break of 5 (Cat 2, but still):

I get what you are saying, but in a P1 NCC race a sub 300W FTP will be lucky to hang in the pack. IMO. Of course, every crit is different and also depends on your VO2/AC rinse and repeat recovery ability.
