Sometimes it happens, but usually the police just tell everybody to go home. I think police spend more time cracking down on the people racing than on spectators. But things may be different in the bigger cities like Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, etc.

Here's an example where a bunch of people were arrested for being out past curfew on a police raid on street racing activities:
