Racing criteriums is more than just going fast though. I got some excellent advice from some friends who used to race. They told me to sign up for crit training before racing season starts. They should be able to teach you how to corner, keeping your line, etc. They won't even allow you to sign up for a CAT 5 crit here without some experience so you don't pose a danger to the other racers.
wait you're saying that usa cycling has training races,, who exactly teaches you ???
