"Too many pics to show," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez wrote in a Facebook post about the arrests made.
Earlier in the week, 43 arrests were made and one car fled from deputies, according to the sheriff's office. Several cars were also towed, and guns were taken off the streets.
The initiative came ahead of the annual TX2K Roll and Drag Race Nationals event this weekend at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown.
"TX2K21" is a legal event on a closed course and isn't related to the racing incidents from overnight.
