The NJ Road Race calendar is here:
http://www.njbikeracing.com/calendar/calendar.pl?month=9&month=3
Everyone starts at Cat5. It is mandatory. After 10 Mass Start events, you can request an upgrade to Cat4. To upgrade beyond that requires results.
The Tuesday nighters at the Sussex County fairgrounds are a good place to get your feet wet.
I suggest putting any road racing discussions in the Tour de NJ forum.

Funny..but that is actually against the rules. Your jersey is required to have sleeves. Seriously!

Cutoffs are allowed, though.

What it I cut the sleeves off my jersey and just wear the sleeves?
is a "wife beaters" an article of clothing? or a type of person?

It's a white tank top undershirt, it seems in areas outside of Brooklyn they call them this. IN brooklyn where I grew up we called them something totally different but I will be respectful of the italian readers.

Still think that is one of the stupidest rules ever. I remember being prevented from racing once when I was young as I had a sleeveless jersey on!! Couldnt quite believe it when they didnt let me race :hmmm:
