Total Brakes was started by car enthusiast Aaron Elsner to facilitate his passion for speed, racing and high quality braking parts. Aaron’s need for speed started at the young age of 7 when he began racing go carts on the rural tracks of his hometown in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter, he began racing competitively at Virginia International Raceway. Aaron’s love for racing translates into all aspects of his life. He was the "Spec Race Atom" Championship winner in 2011 & 2012. He serves as an instructor of the Porsche Club of America. He participated in PCA club racing in Spec Boxster, custom built with parts straight from the shelves of Total Brakes.
