I have a friend who beat all the Cat2's in an NRC race as well. 8th place at the Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Criterium, out of a long, long break. 100km race, with an Olympic 4k team pursuit Gold Medal winner, as well everyone else in the break being a pro or former pro. 20 years old. Also the state P1/2 TT champ.

By his own admission he is nowhere close to going to Worlds, or turning pro. His logic? If he was ready for that level of competition, he would have been able to pull some sort of sprint out of the bag, but instead, he got worked over by stronger, smarter bike racers.
