Unfortunately, not as draggy as I thought it would be.  The A still got it up there and it immediately began heading for the one tree left by the parking lot.  Cleared that, and the wires, and the first car, but not the second one.  They never even touched the brake.  The rocket bounced into oncoming traffic and the body tube was smashed flat.  As I was leaving I noticed fins all over by the stoplight.  I did manage to save the nose cone and parachute.
