I agree with others that gas prices aren't keeping people away. In the entire expense of a DE weekend, the are only 20-30% of the cost.
For us it is mostly vacation time. Jenn & I did 6 DE weekends last year. It was the first time I'd ever used up all of my time off (including a week I had historically carried).
We have a 3 week European Delivery trip coming up. Between time off and, new tow vehicle expense, we're probably only going to do 2 more DEs for a total of 4 events this year. With the two of us not driving as many, it equates to 4 fewer registration than last year.
